Can locally applied risedronate be an effective agent when combined with xenografts? An animal study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo examine the effects of local risedronate application with xenografts on healing of rabbit skull defects using histological, histomorphometric, immunohistochemical, and three-dimensional radiological methods.
methodsTwo critical-sized defects with a diameter of 10 mm were created in 16 rabbits and filled with xenogenic bone graft and xenogenic bone graft + 5 mg risedronate in the control I and risedronate (RIS) groups, respectively. Residual graft, new bone, soft tissue areas, and bone volume were evaluated in the 4- and 8-week study groups.
resultsIn both the 4- and 8-week samples, the RIS group samples had significantly higher mean new bone area values than the C group (p < 0.05). In both groups, the values for the new bone area were significantly higher in the 8-week-old samples than in the 4-week-old samples (p < 0.05). The h scores obtained for sialoprotein and osteopontin did not differ significantly between the groups at either time point (p > 0.05). The results of radiological evaluation showed that the bone density value was significantly higher in the C group than in the RIS group at either time point (p < 0.05).
conclusionsAlthough this study aimed to demonstrate the effect of risedronate on the osteoconductive properties of xenografts when applied locally, targeted results could not be achieved.
