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

This study is to investigate the effect of bisphosphonates on the osseointegration of dental implants in a rabbit model. Twenty female New Zealand White rabbits were equally assigned into control and experiment groups which received saline or zoledronic acid treatment 4 weeks prior to surgery. Titanium dental implant was placed on the calvarial bone. Zoledronic acid or saline treatment continued after surgery for 4 weeks (short-term subgroup) or 8 weeks (long-term subgroup) until sacrifice. Three different fluorochrome labeling solutions were administrated for assessing bone growth rates. Samples of the calvarial bone and mandible were subjected to microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), confocal microscope, and histology analysis. Zoledronic acid treatment significantly reduced bone growth rates in the calvarial bone, but had no significant influence in bone mineral density and trabecular microarchitecture. Significantly lower bone-to-implant contact ratios were found in zoledronic acid-treated animals compared to controls at week 4 but not at week 8. Oncologic dose zoledronic acid suppresses the bone growth rates of the calvarial bone; ZA may have an adverse effect on osseointegration of dental implant in short term, but this effect tends to diminish in long term.
