The role of bone sialoprotein in bone healing.
Review in Journal of structural biology, 2024. 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
Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is a multi-functional extracellular matrix (ECM) protein associated with mineralized tissues, particularly bone and cementum. The amino acid sequence of BSP includes three evolutionarily conserved sequences which contribute to functions of the protein: an N-terminal collagen-binding domain, polyglutamic acid (polyE) sequences involved in hydroxyapatite nucleation and crystal growth, and a C-terminal arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) integrin-binding domain. BSP promotes attachment and differentiation of osteogenic and osteoclastic cells. Genetic ablation of BSP in mice results in skeletal and dental developmental defects and impaired bone healing in both appendicular bone and alveolar bone of the jaw. Several studies demonstrated positive effects of BSP on bone healing in rodent models, though other experiments show negligible results. Native (harvested from rat bones) BSP cross-linked to collagen induced slight improvements in calvarial bone healing in rats. Recombinant BSP and collagen delivered in a polylactide (PLA) cylinder improved bone defect healing in rat femurs. Both native and recombinant BSP delivered in a collagen gel improved alveolar bone healing in wild-type and BSP-deficient mice. These advances suggest BSP is a new player in bone healing that has potential to be an alternative or complimentary to other bioactive factors. Future studies are necessary to understand mechanisms of how BSP influences bone healing and optimize delivery and dose in different types of bone defects and injuries.
