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

backgroundThis study was to evaluate the effects of low-intensity collimated pulse ultrasound (LICU) and low-intensity focused-pulse ultrasound (LIFU) stimulation on the osteogenesis in the porous silicon carbide (SiC) scaffold implanted in the rabbit mandible.

methodsRabbits were randomly divided into LIFU group, LICU group and control group (without ultrasound treatment). The intensities of LICU and LIFU were 30 and 300 mW/cm

resultsThe changes in the subcutaneous and subperiosteal temperatures during LICU and LIFU were less than 1 °C. The bone mass increased and the structure of bone tissues became more mature over time. The bone mass and mean pore occupancy fraction (POF) in the LIFU group were significantly greater than in the LICU group at three time points (P<0.05). Bone ingrowth in different directions was observed, and the new bone formation in the mesial, distal, top, and lingual sides of the implants in the LIFU group was greater than in the LICU group and control group (P<0.05).

conclusionsLIFU and LICU may effectively promote bone formation in the mandible scaffold, and LIFU significantly accelerates bone formation in both buccal side and lingual side of the scaffold.
