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
To study the effect of novel bioresorbable scaffold composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles on inflammation and calcification of surrounding tissues after implantation. Ninety six PLLA/ACP scaffolds and 96 PLLA scaffolds were randomly implanted in the back muscle tissue of 48 SD rats. At the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 12th weeks after implantation, the calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels in the blood serum and the contents of calcium and alkaline phosphatase in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to count the inflammatory cells. Von kossa staining was performed to observe calcification of the surrounding tissue around the scaffold. NF-κB staining was performed by immunohistochemistry to calculate the positive expression index of inflammatory cells. Western blot was used to detect the expression of IL-6 and BMP-2 in the tissues surrounding the scaffolds. At the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 12th weeks after scaffold implantation, there were no significant difference in the serum concentration of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and in the tissue homogenate concentration of alkaline phosphatase between the two groups (P > 0.05). The level of calcium in tissue homogenates was lower in the PLLA/ACP group than in the PLLA group at 12-week (P < 0.05). The hematoxylin-eosin staining results showed that the inflammatory cell count in the PLLA/ACP group was lower than the PLLA group at 4-week and 12-week (P < 0.05). The results of NF-kB positive expression index showed that the PLLA group was significantly more than the PLLA/ACP group at 4-week and 12-week (P < 0.01). Western blot results showed that IL-6 expression levels in the PLLA/ACP group scaffolds were significantly lower than those in the control group at the 2-week, 4-week and 12-week (P < 0.05). The expression of BMP-2 in the PLLA group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 4-week and 12-week (P < 0.05). The PLLA/ACP composite material has good histocompatibility. The integration of nanoscale ACPs reduces the inflammatory response induced by acidic metabolites of PLLA material and may inhibit tissue calcification by reducing the amount of calcification factors in the body.
