Icariin Has a Synergistic Effect on the Osteoinductivity of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 at Ectopic Sites.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveEstablishing biocompatible, biodegradable, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive bone materials remains a challenging subject in the research of bone healing and bone regeneration. Previously, we demonstrated the osteogenic and osteoconductive effects of biomimetic calcium phosphate (BioCaP) incorporating with Icariin and/or bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) at orthotopic sites.
methodsBy implanting the BioCaP granules incorporated Icariin and/or BMP-2 into the dorsal subcutaneous pockets of adult male Sprague-Dawley (S-D) rats (6-7 weeks old), we investigated the osteoinductive efficacy of the samples. Micro-computed tomography(micro-CT) observations and histological slices were used to verify the osteoinduction of this system on the 2
resultsThe osteoinduction of the BioCaP incorporated with BMP-2 or both agents was confirmed as expected. BioCaP with Icariin alone could not generate bone formation at an ectopic sites. Nevertheless, co-administration of Icariin increased bone mineral density (BMD; p < 0.01) (628mg HA/cm
conclusionThe co-administration of Icariin and BMP-2 increased BMD changed the distribution of newly formed bone, and reduced the amount of remaining materials. Therefore, Icariin can stimulate BMP-2 when incorporated into BioCaP granules at ectopic sites, which makes it useful for bone tissue engineering.
