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

The formation of the epiphyseal bone plate, the flat bony structure that provides strength and firmness to the growth plate cartilage, was studied in the present study by using light, confocal, and scanning electron microscopy. Results obtained evidenced that this bone tissue is generated by the replacement of the lower portion of the epiphyseal cartilage. However, this process differs considerably from the usual bone tissue formation through endochondral ossification. Osteoblasts deposit bone matrix on remnants of mineralized cartilage matrix that serve as a scaffold, but also on non-mineralized cartilage surfaces and as well as within the perivascular space. These processes occur simultaneously at sites located close to each other, so that, a core of the sheet of bone is established very quickly. Subsequently, thickening and reshaping occurs by appositional growth to generate a dense parallel-fibered bone structurally intermediate between woven and lamellar bone. All these processes occur in close relationship with a cartilage but most of the bone tissue is generated in a manner that may be considered as intramembranous-like. Overall, the findings here reported provide for the first time an accurate description of the tissues and events involved in the formation of the epiphyseal bone plate and gives insight into the complex cellular events underlying bone formation at different sites on the skeleton.
