The effect of favipiravir on fracture healing.

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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of favipiravir on fracture healing. Forty-eight female rats which had a femur fracture with intramedullary Kirschner wire fixation performed were divided into 6 groups; 2 control groups (C1, C2) and 4 experimental groups (F1, F2, F3, F4). The control groups (C1, C2) received physiological saline by oral gavage for 14 days. Two of the experimental groups (F1, F2) received favipiravir by oral gavage for 5 days, whereas the other groups (F3, F4) received it for 14 days. C1, F1 and F3 groups were sacrificed and evaluated on the 14th day, and C2, F2 and F4 groups were sacrificed and evaluated on the 28th day. The fracture sites were assessed for healing radiologically using the Lane and Sandhu scoring system, and assessed histologically using the Huo et al. scoring system. There was no difference between the groups regarding radiological and histological evaluations made on the 14th day (P > .05, P=.216, respectively). On the 28th day, the radiological scores were found to be significantly higher in the control group when compared to the experimental groups (P < .05). Histologically, the control group demonstrated better fracture healing than the groups that had favipiravir administered (P < .001). This study has shown that favipiravir can have negative effects on fracture healing both radiologically and histologically.
