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

To evaluate the in vivo performance of "duplex" hydroxylapatite top coat/TiO(2) bond coat systems, cylindrical Ti6Al4V rods of 130 mm in length and 11-13 mm in diameter were coated by atmospheric plasma spray (APS) technique with both a standard hydroxylapatite (HAp) layer and a HAp+TiO(2) bond coat "duplex" layer. In this pilot study coated and uncoated rods serving as controls were implanted into the femur of sheep so that their distal ends were freely suspended in the medulla of the femur. After an observation time of six months it was found that bone apposition and bone ingrowth were considerably increased in the presence of a osteoconductive coating. In particular, in vivo spalling and delamination frequently observed with HAp coatings was virtually absent in duplex coatings owing to the strong adhesion of the bond coat to the HAp top coat that anchored the latter solidly to the metallic surface of the implant. Some tentative mechanisms leading to this improved coating adhesion will be discussed.
