Fracture Fusion on Fast-Forward: Locally Administered Deferoxamine Significantly Enhances Fracture Healing in Animal Models: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Fractures, with a yearly incidence of 1.2%, can lead to healing complications in up to 10% of cases. The angiogenic stimulant deferoxamine (DFO) is recognized for enhancing bone healing when administered into the fracture gap. This systematic review with meta-analysis investigates the effect of local DFO application on bone healing in rat and mouse models. EMBASE, MEDLINE (PubMed), and Web of Science are systematically searched in January 2024. The study is prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024492533), and the SYRCLE tool is used to assess study quality and risk of bias. Outcome values contain the primary endpoint bone volume fraction (BV/TV) as well as the secondary endpoints bone volume, tissue volume, bone mineral density, trabecular separation, trabecular thickness, vessel formation and the mechanical properties, assessed by µCT, angiography and mechanical strength tests. Out of 21 included studies, 18 qualify for meta-analysis, involving 539 animals. DFO-treated groups exhibit significantly higher BV/TV values (p < 0.0001) compared to controls, with similarly significant improvements in secondary outcomes. These findings highlight the substantial benefit of DFO in promoting bone healing, especially after radiotherapy. Rapid clinical implementation is recommended to help patients at high risk of fracture healing complications.
