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

background and purposeIn fracture healing, ischemia caused by vascular injuries, chronic vascular diseases, and metabolic comorbidities is one of the major risk factors for delayed union and non-union formation. To gain novel insights into the molecular and cellular pathology of ischemic fracture healing, appropriate animal models are needed. Murine models are of particular interest, as they allow to study the molecular aspects of fracture healing due to the availability of both a large number of murine antibodies and gene-targeted animals. Thus, we present the development of an ischemic fracture healing model in mice. MATERIAL AND

methodsAfter inducing a mild ischemia by double ligature of the deep femoral artery in CD-1 mice, the ipsilateral femur was fractured by a 3-point bending device and stabilized by screw osteosynthesis. In control animals, the femur was fractured and stabilized without the induction of ischemia. The femora were analyzed at 2 and 5 weeks after fracture healing by means of radiology, biomechanics, histology, and histomorphometry.

resultsThe surgically induced ischemia delayed and impaired the process of fracture healing. This was indicated by a lower Goldberg score, decreased bending stiffness, and reduced bone callus formation in the ischemic animals when compared with the controls.

interpretationWe introduce a novel ischemic femoral fracture healing model in mice, which is characterized by delayed bone healing. In future, the use of this model may allow both the elucidation of the molecular aspects of ischemic fracture healing and the study of novel treatment strategies.
