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

purposeOsteogrow, an osteoinductive device containing recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein 6 (rhBMP6) in autologous blood coagulum, is a novel therapeutic solution for bone regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate different commercially available calcium phosphate synthetic ceramic particles as a compression-resistant matrix (CRM) added to Osteogrow implants to enhance their biomechanical properties.

methodsOsteogrow implants with the addition of Vitoss, ChronOs, BAM, and Dongbo ceramics (Osteogrow-C, where C stands for ceramics) were evaluated in the rodent subcutaneous ectopic bone formation assay. Osteogrow-C device was prepared as follows: rhBMP6 was added to blood, and blood was mixed with ceramics and left to coagulate. Osteogrow-C was implanted subcutaneously in the axillary region of Sprague-Dawley rats and the outcome was analyzed 21 days following implantation using microCT, histology, morphometric analyses, and immunohistochemistry.

resultsOsteogrow-C implants with all tested ceramic particles induced the formation of the bone-ceramic structure containing cortical bone, the bone between the particles, and bone at the ceramic surfaces. The amount of newly formed bone was significant in all experimental groups; however, the highest bone volume was measured in Osteogrow-C implants with highly porous Vitoss ceramics. The trabecular number was highest in Osteogrow-C implants with Vitoss and ChronOs ceramics while trabeculae were thicker in implants containing BAM and Dongbo ceramics. The immunological response and inflammation were comparable among ceramic particles evaluated in this study.

conclusionOsteogrow-C bone regenerative device was effective with a broad range of commercially available synthetic ceramics providing a promising therapeutic solution for the regeneration of long bone fracture nonunion, large segmental defects, and spinal fusion surgeries.
