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

Autologous bone graft substitute (ABGS) containing rhBMP6 in autologous blood coagulum (Osteogrow) is a novel therapeutic solution for bone regeneration. This study is aimed to investigate the long-term outcome of ABGS with synthetic ceramics (Osteogrow-C) in rabbit posterolateral spinal fusion (PLF) model. Osteogrow-C implants were implanted bilaterally between rabbit lumbar transverse processes. We compared the outcome following implantation of ABGS with ceramic particles of different chemical composition (TCP and biphasic ceramics containing both TCP and HA) and size (500-1700 µm and 74-420 µm). Outcome was analyzed after 14 and 27 weeks by microCT, histology, and biomechanical analyses. Successful bilateral spinal fusion was observed in all animals at the end of observation period. Chemical composition of ceramic particles has impact on the PLF outcome via resorption of TCP ceramics, while ceramics containing HA were only partially resorbed. Moreover, persistence of ceramic particles subsequently resulted with an increased bone volume in implants with small particles containing high proportion of HA. ABGS (rhBMP6/ABC) with various synthetic ceramic particles promoted spinal fusion in rabbits. This is the first presentation of BMP-mediated ectopic bone formation in rabbit PLF model with radiological, histological, and biomechanical features over a time course of up to 27 weeks.
