Is Impregnation of Xenograft with Caffeine Effective on Bone Healing Rate in Mandibular Defects? A Pilot Histological Animal Study.

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
INTRODUCTION AND
aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two concentrations of caffeine (1.5% and 3%) powder added to Bio-Oss xenograft on bone healing rate of iatrogenic mandibular defects in dogs. MATERIALS AND
methodThe researchers implemented a pilot study on ten male adult mongrel dogs. Two 4-mm circular critical-sized defects were trephined on each side of the mandibular body (a total of 4 defects for each dog). One of the defects remained empty as a control group. The other three defects in each case were randomly filled with 1.5% or 3% caffeinated Bio-Oss or pure Bio-Oss. The mandible specimens were sent for histological and histomorphometric assessments, 4 months postoperatively. Our predictor variable was the type of bone substitute. The study outcomes were new bone formation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. The
resultsThe histological assessment showed that the administration of 1.5% caffeinated Bio-Oss to mandibular defects caused more angiogenesis and more new bone formation as well as less fibrosis compared to the other groups (
conclusionThis study suggested that the application of 1.5% caffeinated Bio-Oss in bone defects of dogs resulted in the higher new bone formation. However, further clinical trials are needed to support its relevancy.
