Effect of hydroxyapatite bioceramics on the growth of osteoblasts and HIF-α/VEGF signal axis in partial hypoxia environment in vitro.
Article in Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHydroxyapatite bioceramic is a kind of bone implant commonly used in oral clinic treatment. In the early stage of tissue repair, cells will suffer hypoxic due to the interruption of blood supply.
objectiveStudying the expression of osteoblasts in hypoxic environment will help us to understand the expression and response mechanism of osteoblasts at the implantation site of hydroxyapatite in the early stage of hypoxia.
methodsMG63 osteoblast cell line was used in this study. The cells of normal group were incubated under normal oxygen and hydroxyapatite ceramics condition. The cells of hypoxia group were incubated under hypoxia (37∘C, 8% CO2, 8% O2, 86% N2) and hydroxyapatite ceramics condition. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK8 assay. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured by ALP kit. Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by Western blot.
resultsCompared to the normal group, the cells of hypoxia group showed a dramatically higher proliferation ability, especially at 48 h (P< 0.05). Due to hypoxia, cell apoptosis was induced, but there is no difference between these two groups. Interestingly, the ALP activity of hypoxia group was higher than that of normal group at 24 h and 48 h (P< 0.05). Mechanically, western blot result showed that the protein level of both HIF-α and VEGF were up-regulated in hypoxia group.
conclusionsUnder hypoxia condition, hydroxyapatite bioceramics can promote the proliferation of MG63 osteoblasts, elevate the activity of alkaline phosphatase and upregulate HIF-α and VEGF expression without effect on apoptosis.
