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

One main disadvantage of commercially available allogenic bone substitute materials is the altered mechanical behavior due to applied material processing, including sterilization methods like thermal processing or gamma irradiation. The use of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) might be a gentle alternative to avoid mechanical alteration. Therefore, we compressed ground trabecular human bone to granules and, afterwards, treated them with 250 and 300 MPa for 20 and 30 min respectively. We characterized the formed bone granule cylinders (BGC) with respect to their biomechanical properties by evaluating stiffness and stress at 15% strain. Furthermore, the stiffness and yield strength of HHP-treated and native human trabecular bone cylinders (TBC) as control were evaluated. The mechanical properties of native vs. HHP-treated TBCs as well as HHP-treated vs. untreated BGCs did not differ, independent of the applied HHP magnitude and duration. Our study suggests HHP treatment as a suitable alternative to current processing techniques for allogenic bone substitutes since no negative effects on mechanical properties occurred.
