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

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a brittle bone disease, is known to result in severe bone fragility. However, its ultrastructural origins are still poorly understood. In this study, we hypothesized that deficient intrafibrillar mineralization is a key contributor to the OI induced bone brittleness. To test this hypothesis, we explored the mechanical and ultrastructural changes in OI bone using the osteogenesis imperfecta murine (oim) model. Synchrotron X-ray scattering experiments indicated that oim bone had much less intrafibrillar mineralization than wild type bone, thus verifying that the loss of mineral crystals indeed primarily occurred in the intrafibrillar space of oim bone. It was also found that the mineral crystals were organized from preferentially in longitudinal axis in wild type bone to more randomly in oim bone. Moreover, it revealed that the deformation of mineral crystals was more coordinated with collagen fibrils in wild type than in oim bone, suggesting that the load transfer deteriorated between the two phases in oim bone. The micropillar test revealed that the compression work to fracture of oim bone (8.2 ± 0.9 MJ/m
