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

objectivesTo evaluate nanoscale molecular interactions in the interface between human bone and orthodontic titanium implants. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn orthodontic implant (sandblasted with large grit and with an acid-etched surface treated with Ti6A14V alloy) retrieved from the mandible of human after 2 months of healing was used to analyze the molecular interactive mechanism between the implant and the surrounding bone tissue. To preserve the natural state of the sample as much as possible, cryofixation and scanning electron microscope/focused ion beam milling without any chemical treatment were used during sample preparation. Atom probe tomography was used to investigate the chemical composition and structure at the interface between the implant and human bone tissue.

resultsThree-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the whole sample revealed a 20 × 50-nm

conclusionsThe study results advance nanoscale understanding of osseointegration and suggest a potential nanostructure for increasing bond strength of biomaterials to bone.
