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

A thorough knowledge of the structures of healthy mineralized tissues, such as bone or cartilage, is key to understanding the pathological changes occurring during disease. Such knowledge enables the underlying mechanisms that are responsible for pathology to be pinpointed. One high-resolution 3D method in particular - focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) - has fundamentally changed our understanding of healthy vertebrate mineralized tissues. FIB-SEM can be used to study demineralized matrix, the hydrated components of tissue (including cells) using cryo-fixation and even untreated mineralized tissue. The latter requires minimal sample preparation, making it possible to study enough samples to carry out studies capable of detecting statistically significant differences - a pre-requisite for the study of pathological tissues. Here, we present an imaging and characterization strategy for tissue structures at different length scales, describe new insights obtained on healthy mineralized tissues using FIB-SEM, and suggest future research directions for both healthy and diseased mineralized tissues.
