Combination treatment with whole body vibration and simvastatin improves the early osseointegration in aged rats.

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
Background: Current research has demonstrated that Simvastatin (SIM) and Whole Body Vibration (WBV) actively contributes to the repair of osteoporotic bones. However, there is still limited knowledge regarding the impact of this combined therapy on osseointegration in elderly individuals. Objective: The objective of this study was to verify the influence of WBV and SIM combination treatment on Titanium implants' fixation strength in aged rats. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats at 24 months old were utilized for this investigation. Titanium rods were surgically inserted into the distal femoral canal on their left side. Subsequently, all animals were randomly assigned to one of four groups: Control group; WBV group; SIM group; and WBV + SIM group. Each group received Saline, Whole Body Vibration, Simvastatin, or a combination of Whole Body Vibration plus Simvastatin treatment until they reached their natural death after 12 weeks. The bilateral femurs and serum samples from these rats were collected for evaluation purposes. Results: Both WBV and SIM treatments exhibited an increase in bone mass, osseointegration, and push-out force compared to the Control group (all, Conclusion: These findings suggest that combining physiotherapy (WBV) with drug therapy (SIM) proves beneficial for enhancing implant fixation in aged rats.
