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

In this study the affinity of three amino acids for the surface of non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (ns-nHA) was investigated under different reaction conditions. The amino acids investigated were chosen based on their differences in side chain polarity and potential impact on this surface affinity. While calcium pre-saturation of the calcium-deficient ns-nHA was not found to improve attachment of any of the amino acids studied, the polarity and fraction of ionized functional side groups was found to have a significant impact on this attachment. Overall, amino acid attachment to ns-nHA was not solely reliant on carboxyl groups. In fact, it seems that amine groups also notably interacted with the negative ns-nHA surface and increased the degree of surface binding achieved. As a result, glycine and lysine had greater attachment to ns-nHA than aspartic acid under the reaction conditions studied. Lastly, our results suggest that a layer of each amino acid forms at the surface of ns-nHA, with aspartic acid attachment the most stable and its surface coverage the least of the three amino acids studied.
