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

objectiveTo examine the effects of Jintiange on enhancing the healing of osteoporotic fractures in aged rats.

methodsAn osteoporotic fracture model of femur was established using 70 SD rats (aged > 12 months), which were randomly numbered and divided into an experimental group and a control group, each with an equal sample size (n = 35). The experimental group received Jintiange capsule ingredients via intragastric administration, while the control group received an equal volume of saline via the same method. X-ray examinations were conducted at the 4th and 12th weeks to evaluate fracture healing in the rats. After 12 weeks, micro-CT scanning was employed to assess the microstructure of the healthy femurs, and the parameters of the experimental and control groups were compared.

resultsAfter 4 weeks, the mean fracture healing scores were 0.78 ± 0.43 in the experimental group and 0.56 ± 0.51 in the control group. After 12 weeks, the mean scores were 1.50 ± 0.71 in the experimental group and 0.96 ± 0.68 in the control group. The scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Micro-CT examination of the femurs showed an improvement trend in bone microarchitecture in the experimental group, indicated by increased bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb. N), and trabecular thickness (Tb. Th). However, these improvements were not statistically significant. A negative correlation with statistical significance was observed between trabecular separation (Tb. Sp) and fracture healing scores.

conclusionsJintiange may promote osteoporotic fracture healing in aged rats by enhancing bone microstructure.
