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

A versatile method for preparing spherical, micro- and macroporous (micro: 2-10 and macro: 150-550 microm pores), carbonated apatitic calcium phosphate (Ap-CaP) granules (2-4 mm in size) was developed by using NaCl crystals as the porogen. The entire granule production was performed between 21 and 37 degrees C. A CaP cement powder, comprising alpha-Ca3(PO4)2 (61 wt.%), CaHPO4 (26%), CaCO3 (10%) and precipitated hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (3%), was dry mixed with NaCl crystals varying in size from 420 microm to 1 mm. Cement powder (35 wt.%) and NaCl (65 wt.%) mixture was kneaded with an ethanol-Na2HPO4 initiator solution, and the formed dough was immediately agitated on an automatic sieve shaker for a few minutes to produce the spherical granules. Embedded NaCl crystals were then leached out of the granules by soaking them in deionized water. CaP granules were micro- and macroporous with a total porosity of 50% or more. Granules were composed of carbonated, poorly crystallized, apatitic CaP phase. These were the first spherical and porous CaP granules ever produced from a self-setting calcium phosphate cement. The granules reached their final handling strength at the ambient temperature through the cement setting reaction, without having a need for sintering.
