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

Rabbit osteoclasts (OCs), separated mechanically from long bones, were seeded on to glass or plastic substrates or slabs of sperm whale dentine (SWD). Cells were cultured in MEM with 10% FCS with or without added salmon calcitonin (SCT) at dosages of 0.001, 0.1 and 1 IU/ml. Although most rabbit SCT-treated OCs on the non-biological substrates showed inhibition of peripheral ruffling activity and motility at dosages that stop rat OC movement, resorption still occurred on the dentine. Thus such inhibition is unreliable as a general indicator for resorptive capability. Resorption lacunae were observed at all times from 6 h onwards. Using stereophotogrammetric techniques, the following minimum values were obtained from 24 h cultures: highest hourly rate of resorption of dentine for single OC, 570 micron3/h; average rate 165 micron3/h; mean total volume dentine removed per Howship's lacuna complex, 3,885 micron3; average value for plan area of surface attacked per OC, 1,450 micron2.
