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 effect of chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CIHH) on bone fracture healing is not elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the role of CIHH on bone fracture healing and the mechanism. The Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the CIHH group and control group and monitored for 2, 4, or 8 weeks after femoral fracture surgery. Bone healing efficiency was significantly increased in the CIHH group as evidenced by higher high-density bone volume fractions, higher bone mineral density, higher maximum force, and higher stiffness. Histologically, the CIHH group exhibited superior bone formation, endochondral ossification, and angiogenic ability compared with the control group. The expression of HIF-1α and its downstream signaling proteins VEGF, SDF-1/CXCR4 axis were increased by the CIHH treatment. Moreover, the expression of RUNX2, osterix, and type I collagen in the callus tissues were also up-regulated in the CIHH group. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that CIHH treatment improves fracture healing, increases bone mineral density, and increases bone strength
