A new standardized critical size bone defect model in the pig forehead for comparative testing of bone regeneration materials.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
objectivesThe preclinical study aimed to establish a standardized preclinical model to investigate osseous graft consolidation in defect configurations of limited regenerative capacity. MATERIAL AND
methodsCritical size defects (CSD) were prepared and titanium tubes inserted for defect separation from local bone in the forehead area of 18 pigs. Defects were filled with demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) or served as empty controls and were covered with a resorbable collagen membrane (CM) or left untreated. Six randomly selected pigs were sacrificed after 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Specimens were histologically and histomorphometrically analysed focusing on newly formed bone (NFB), demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and soft tissue (ST) proportions.
resultsFour weeks after defect preparation, no statistically significant difference concerning NFB quantity could be detected within the groups. Defects covered with the CM showed lower amounts of DBBM. After 6 and 12 weeks, defects augmented with DBBM in combination with a CM (8 weeks: 43.12 ± 4.31; 12 weeks: 43.05 ± 3.01) showed a statistically significant higher NFB rate compared to empty control defects covered with 8 weeks: 7.66 ± 0.59; 12 weeks or without a CM; 8 weeks: 8.62 ± 2.66; 12 weeks: 18.40 ± 2.40. CM application showed no significant impact on osseous defect regeneration or soft tissue formation. Superior NFB could be detected for basal aspect for several evaluation time points.
conclusionsThe modification of CSD with titanium tubes represents a suitable model to imitate a one-wall defect regeneration situation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The established model represents a promising method to evaluate graft consolidation in one-wall defect configuration.
