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 numerical model for the adhesion of osteoblasts on titanium micropillar structures is suggested, and a function representing the concentration level of the adhesion on the pillars is constructed based on experimental observation. The introduction of this function helps a well-known bio-chemo-mechanical model to better predict the formation of actin in osteoblasts when they are laid on arrays of titanium micro-pillars of various size attached to silicon substrate. A parameter study suggests that each pillar is associated with a different pattern of adhesion. Our finding emphasises a capability of the bio-chemo-mechanical model that it can well explain the strong influence of the boundary condition on the formation of actin within the cells.
