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

Bone healing and remodeling are mechanically driven processes. While the generalized response to mechanical stimulation in bone is well-understood, much less is known about the mechanobiology-regulating tissue-scale bone formation and resorption during the reparative and remodeling phases of fracture healing. In this study, we combined computational approaches in the form of finite element analysis and experimental approaches by using a loaded femoral defect model in mice to investigate the role of mechanical stimulation in the microenvironment of bone. Specifically, we used longitudinal micro-computed tomography to observe temporal changes in bone at different densities and micro-finite element analysis to map the mechanics of the microenvironment to tissue-scale formation, quiescence (no change in bone presence between time points), and resorption dynamics in the late reparative and remodeling phases (post bridging). Increasing levels of effective strain led to increasing conditional probability of bone formation, while decreasing levels of effective strain led to increasing probability of bone resorption. In addition, the analysis of mineralization dynamics showed both a temporal and effective strain level-dependent behavior. A logarithmic-like response was displayed, where the conditional probability of bone formation or resorption increased rapidly and plateaued or fell rapidly and plateaued as mechanical strain increased.
