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

Bone graft infections are serious complications in orthopaedics and the growing resistance to antibiotics is increasing the need for antibacterial strategies. The use of magnesium oxide (MgO) is an interesting alternative since it possesses broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Additionally, magnesium ions also play a role in bone regeneration, which makes MgO more appealing than other metal oxides. Therefore, a bone substitute composed of hydroxyapatite and MgO (HAp/MgO) spherical granules was developed using different sintering heat-treatment cycles to optimize its features. Depending on the sintering temperature, HAp/MgO spherical granules exhibited distinct surface topographies, mechanical strength and degradation profiles, that influenced the in vitro antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility. A proper balance between antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility was achieved with HAp/MgO spherical granules sintered at 1100 ºC. The presence of MgO in these granules was able to significantly reduce bacterial proliferation and simultaneously provide a suitable environment for osteoblasts growth. The angiogenic and inflammation potentials were also assessed using the in vivo chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model and the spherical granules containing MgO stimulated angiogenesis without increasing inflammation. The outcomes of this study evidence a dual effect of MgO for bone regenerative applications making this material a promising antibacterial bone substitute.
