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

objectivesIn order to verify the hypothesis that fibrin glue (FG) is able to seal the area of bone grafting and facilitate bone regeneration. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-one Sprague-Dawley rats with critical-sized calvarial bone defects were randomly assigned to three groups: (A) co-administrated deproteinized bovine bone (DBB) and autologous bone grafts with FG [fibrin ( +)], (B) co-administrated DBB and autologous bone grafts without FG [fibrin ( -)], and (C) no graft as control. Four weeks and 8 weeks later, micro-CT analysis and histomorphometric analysis were carried out to evaluate following parameters: bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), percentage of new bone area (Pe.NB), average thickness of bone defect (Th.BD), average thickness of basal bone (Th.BB), and percentage of new bone in center of the skull defect (Pe.NBc).

resultsBV/TV, Tb.Th, and Tb.N in fibrin ( -) group were significantly higher than that of fibrin ( +) group (p = 0.008, 0.000, 0.007, respectively) and control group (p = 0.004, 0.001, and 0.007, respectively) at 8 weeks. Pe.NB in fibrin ( -) group (33.67 ± 11.72%) was significantly higher than that of fibrin ( +) group (12.33 ± 3.21%) (p = 0.038) and control group (9.66 ± 8.50%) (p = 0.045) at 8 weeks. Pe.NBc in fibrin ( -) group (12.05 ± 3.91%) was significantly higher than that of fibrin ( +) group (4.79 ± 1.21%) (p = 0.005) and control group (0.00 ± 0.00%) (p = 0.000) at 4 weeks.

conclusionsAdministration of both DBB and autograft stimulates calvarial bone defect regeneration, while combination of FG does not additionally accelerate new bone formation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of fibrin to cement traditional bone graft materials in oral clinical practice requires caution.
