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

The purpose of this technical report is to present two novel experimental implant designs to boost data generation in preclinical in vivo research. Specifically, the report describes the rationale and the components of (1) a two-piece experimental implant suitable for a small animal platform (e.g., the rabbit femur/tibial epiphysis model), consisting of a threaded apical- and a coronal cylindrical piece, which is intended for collecting two types of biomechanical data, and (2) a three-piece experimental implant suitable for a large animal platform (e.g., the mini-pig mandible model), consisting of an apical "wound chamber", which allows the collection of histological/histomorphometrical data, and a middle threaded and coronal cylindrical piece, which also allow the collection of two types of biomechanical data. The increased volume of information generated from a single experiment in a small animal platform, using the proposed two-piece implant design, may assist in a more qualified decision-making process, on whether it is relevant to proceed to further assessment using a large animal platform. Furthermore, the increased volume of information generated in a single animal experiment either in a small or large animal platform, using the proposed two- and three-piece implants, respectively, likely decreases the number of animals otherwise needed for collecting the same information with standard one-piece implants and, thus, contributes to the reduction/refinement elements of the 3R principle.
