Assessment of biphasic calcium phosphate 70/30 alginate scaffold on the tibia in pigs.
Article in Veterinary world, 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimCalcium phosphate bioceramics have been used for at least a decade, and many investigations have focused on the use of hydroxyapatite (HA) derivative in the regeneration of bone defects. Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) is a biomaterial composed of HA and beta-tricalcium phosphate (BCP), with a structure similar to bone. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the BCP/alginate scaffold on tissue growth, blood, the lungs, and the electrical activity of the heart during bone healing in the tibia of pig. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree pigs were implanted with BCP/alginate scaffolds in the tibias. Pigs were acclimatized and treated with antibiotics and anthelminthic drugs 14 days before implantation. Each pig was implanted with a BCP/alginate scaffold in the right tibia and a defect without the implant was made in the left tibia as the control. Radiographic images of the tibia were captured 0, 7, 30, and 60 days after the operation. Erythrograms, radiography of the lungs, and electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings were done 0, 30, and 60 days after the operation.
resultsRadiographic evaluations showed that the implant and peri-implant density of BCP decreased throughout the process of bone healing. The erythrogram profile indicated that a substantial amount of time (60 days) was required to adapt and return to pre-operative conditions. No significant differences in ECG recordings or pulmonary radiography were detected.
conclusionThe BCP/alginate scaffold did not induce a faster recovery rate from the bone defect compared to the control with no implant. However, the BCP/alginate scaffold was biodegradable, bioresorbable, and non-toxic.
