Augmentation of bone formation by sympathectomy in rats as evaluated by [

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: The role of the sympathetic nervous system in bone metabolism remains unclear. Given that Materials and methods: Twenty rats were randomly assigned to a superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCGx) group (n = 10) or a sham-operated control group (n = 10). Circular cranial fractures were surgically created in both groups. Micro SPECT/CT imaging was performed at 3, 6, and 9 weeks postoperatively to assess bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), and bone volume (BV). In a separate experiment, 12 additional rats underwent either bilateral lumbar sympathectomy (n = 6) or sham operation (n = 6). At 9 weeks, [ Results: Successful SCGx was confirmed by signs of Horner's syndrome. SCGx rats exhibited significantly higher [ Conclusion: Sympathectomy can enhance osteoblast prolifeation and augment bone formation, which can be effectively assessed and quantified using [
