Role of periosteum during healing of alveolar critical size bone defects in the mandible: a pilot study.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesMinipigs present advantages for studying oral bone regeneration; however, standardized critical size defects (CSD) for alveolar bone have not been validated yet. The objectives of this study are to develop a CSD in the mandibular alveolar bone in Aachen minipigs and to further investigate the specific role of periosteum. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree female Aachen minipigs aged 17, 24, and 84 months were used. For each minipig, a split-mouth design was performed: an osteotomy (2 cm height × 2.5 cm length) was performed; the periosteum was preserved on the left side and removed on the right side. Macroscopic, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), microcomputed tomography (µCT), and histological analyses were performed to evaluate the bone defects and bone healing.
resultsIn both groups, spontaneous healing was insufficient to restore initial bone volume. The macroscopic pictures and the CBCT results showed a larger bone defect without periosteum. µCT results revealed that BMD, BV/TV, and Tb.Th were significantly lower without periosteum. The histological analyses showed (i) an increased osteoid apposition in the crestal area when periosteum was removed and (ii) an ossification process in the mandibular canal area in response to the surgical that seemed to increase when periosteum was removed.
conclusionsA robust model of CSD model was developed in the alveolar bone of minipigs that mimics human mandibular bone defects. This model allows to further investigate the bone healing process and potential factors impacting healing such as periosteum. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This model may be relevant for testing different bone reconstruction strategies for preclinical investigations.
