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

Cancellous bone grafts are essential in orthopedic and plastic surgeries due to their osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. However, handling, storage, and preservation challenges impact their viability and effectiveness in bone healing. This study assessed the effects of handling time, storage temperature, and preservation solutions on bone graft viability and osteogenesis using in vitro and in vivo models. Handling times exceeding 10 min significantly reduced cell viability, with 4 °C storage proving superior to 23 °C and 37 °C. In vivo, grafts stored at 4 °C showed enhanced bone regeneration, with PRP-treated grafts demonstrating greater osteogenic potential compared to those stored in blood or PBS. Micro-CT and histological analyses confirmed superior bone volume and tissue integration with PRP, particularly in older grafts. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing perioperative handling protocols. Storage at 4 °C and preservation in PRP emerge as promising strategies for improving bone graft outcomes in clinical applications.
