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

objectiveTo investigate the role of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in promoting fracture healing in animal models.

methodsMouse models with muscle bag heterotopic osteogenesis (HO) were divided into a HO control group (not implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material), and a HO observation group (implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material); while rat models with bone defect (BD) were divided into a BD control group (not implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material) and a BD observation group (implanted with 250 μg rhBMP-2 bone repairing material). At 4 weeks after HO establishment, the new bone formation at the operation site was observed through visual inspections and X-ray scanning. The content of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. The formation of new bone at the operative sites was observed by Hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson staining. At 0, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after operation, the growth of the defect area and its surrounding callus were observed by X-ray scanning. At 4 and 8 weeks after bone defect establishment in the mouse models, the histological changes and osteogenesis of the bone defect site were observed.

resultsThe heterotopic osteogenesis experiment showed that at 4 weeks after operation, the mass at the muscle bag in the HO observation group became larger in contrast to the HO control group. X-ray scanning showed that there was obvious irregular bone shadow at the back muscle bag of mice from the HO observation group. The content of serum ALP in the HO observation group was significantly higher than that in the HO control group (all
