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.
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
introductionBone infections are one of the main reasons for impaired bone regeneration and non-union formation. In previous experimental animal studies we could already demonstrate that bone defects due to prior infections showed a markedly reduced healing capacity, which could effectively be enhanced via application of Wnt3a and Adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs). For a more in-depth analysis, we investigated proliferation and mineralization of cultured osteoblasts infected with staph aureus and sought to investigate effects of Wnt3a and ASCs on infected osteoblasts. MATERIALS AND
methodsPrimary murine osteoblasts were isolated from calvariae and infected with staph aureus. Infected osteoblasts received treatment via application of recombinant Wnt3a, ASC conditioned medium and were furthermore cocultured with ASCs. Osteoblasts were evaluated by Alamar blue assay for metabolic activity, TUNEL-assay for apoptosis, ALP and Alizarin Red staining for mineralization. In addition, immunoflourescent staining (IF) and qRT-PCR analyses were performed.
resultsInfected osteoblasts showed a markedly reduced ability for mineralization and increased apoptosis, which could be restored to physiological levels by Wnt3a and ASC treatment. Interestingly, metabolic activity of osteoblasts seemed to be unaffected by staph aureus infection. Additional analyses of Wnt-pathway activity revealed effective enhancement of canonical Wnt-pathway activity in Wnt3a-treated osteoblasts.
conclusionsIn summary, we gained further osteoblast-related insights into pathomechanisms of reduced bone healing capacity upon infections.
