Effects of ionizing radiation on woven bone: influence on the osteocyte lacunar network, collagen maturation, and microarchitecture.
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 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesEvaluate the effects of ionizing radiation on microarchitecture, the osteocyte lacunar network, and collagen maturity in a bone repair site. MATERIALS AND
methodsBone defects were created on tibias of 20 New Zealand rabbits. After 2 weeks, the animals were randomly divided into (n = 10) NoIr (nonirradiated group) and Ir (irradiated group). In the Ir, the animals received single-dose irradiation of 30 Gy on the tibia and were euthanized after 2 weeks. Bone microarchitecture parameters were analyzed by using micro-CT, and the osteocyte lacunar network, bone matrix, and collagen maturation by histomorphometric analysis. The data were analyzed using unpaired Student's t test (α = 0.05).
resultsTrabecular thickness in Ir was lower than that in NoIr (P = 0.028). No difference was found for bone volume fraction and bone area. Lacunae filled with osteocytes were more numerous (P < 0.0001) in NoIr (2.6 ± 0.6) than in Ir (1.97 ± 0.53). Empty lacunae were more prevalent (P < 0.003) in Ir (0.14 ± 0.10) than in NoIr (0.1 ± 0.1). The mean osteocyte lacunae size was higher (P < 0.01) in Ir (15.4 ± 4.41) than in NoIr (12.7 ± 3.7). Picrosirius red analysis showed more (P < 0.05) mature collagen in NoIr (29.0 ± 5.3) than in Ir (23.4 ± 4.5). Immature collagen quantification revealed no difference between groups.
conclusionsIonizing radiation compromised bone formation and an impairment in bone repair in irradiated woven bone was observed. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Before radiotherapy, patients usually need surgical intervention, which may be better performed, if clinicians understand the repair process in irradiated bone, using novel approaches for treating these individuals.
