An Assessment of the Osteogenic Potential of
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundA routine mandibular fracture matures in about 12 weeks and hence hinders normal function significantly. Alternatives are being researched to hasten the healing and allow early function. This prospective study aimed to assess the osteogenic potential of the drug
designProspective randomized study.
resultsThe study between the groups revealed a statistically significant increase in the alkaline phosphatase levels in CQ group in comparison with control group. The radiographic findings (increment in density and rate of change of density), clinical findings (mobility, swelling, reduction in pain) and other biochemical findings (serum calcium, serum phosphorous) did not differ statistically between the CQ and control groups.
conclusionBased on the lack of a statistically significant improvement in almost all parameters except for the alkaline phosphatase levels, we believe that a larger sample size is required to ascertain the absolute value of CQ before adding it to the mandibular fracture regimen.
