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

backgroundAlthough previous studies have suggested a stimulatory role of heparanase in physiological bone turnover, the potential therapeutic role of heparanase in bone healing has not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of topical application of heparanase-1 on bone healing.

methodsTwo different dosages of recombinant mouse heparanase-1 and vehicle control were prepared and delivered via an osmotic pump to provide continuous topical infusion of the therapeutic reagent in a mouse bone defect model at the distal femoral metaphysis. The bone healing progress was evaluated by micro-computed tomography and histological examination at 7, 14, and 21 days after the bone defect was created.

resultsThe peak of trabecular bone generation was achieved earlier than anticipated with the use of heparanase as measured by medullary bone volume fraction and trabecular number observed in micro-computed tomography, while the remodeling of trabecular bone to cortical bone was also achieved earlier than anticipated with the use of heparanase as measured by connectivity density. Histopathological observation revealed a higher frequency of the presence of cartilaginous tissue in the heparanase-treated groups. Both bone mineral density and cortical bone volume fraction showed the best healing outcome with low-dose heparanase, implying a biphasic effect of its mode of action.

conclusionThese results indicated that with the appropriate dose of topical heparanase-1, the progress of bone healing could be accelerated in vivo.
