1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundsIntermittent parathyroid hormone (intermittent PTH) injection has been shown to improve osteogenesis. We hypothesized that intermittent PTH injection could stimulate osteogenesis during the early phase of vascular deprivation-induced femoral neck osteonecrosis in a rat model. MATERIALS AND

methodsEighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups (normal saline [CON], PTH 10 μg/kg [PTH-H], and PTH 1 μg/kg [PTH-L]) for 8 weeks by subcutaneous injection. All rats were sacrificed at postoperative 8 weeks, and all underwent a micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) examination for bone quality and quantity evaluation and histomorphometric analysis for microscopic histologic differences.

resultsUnder μ-CT examination, both the PTH-H and PTH-L groups revealed less bone resorption than the control group. The PTH-H group had a better bone protective effect than the PTH-L group. Bone mineral density was increased in the PTH-H and PTH-L groups compared to the control group. The uninjured left femoral head was enlarged in both PTH groups. The histologic examination showed that both PTH groups had new bone and cartilage formation. The control group had only dead bone without any osteogenesis.

conclusionIntermittent PTH injection could decrease bone resorption and improve bone density, compared to the control group, in vascular deprivation of the femoral head in a rat model. High-level intermittent PTH injection had a better effect than low-level intermittent PTH injection.
