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
Collagen fibrils serve as the major template for mineral deposits in both biologically derived and engineered tissues. In recent years certain non-collagenous proteins have been elucidated as important players in differentially modulating intra vs. extra-fibrillar mineralization of collagen. We and others have previously shown that the expression of the collagen receptor, discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) positively correlates with matrix mineralization. The objective of this study was to examine if the ectodomain (ECD) of DDR2 modulates intra versus extra-fibrillar mineralization of collagen independent of cell-signaling. For this purpose, a decellularized collagenous substrate, namely glutaraldehyde fixed porcine pericardium (GFPP) was subjected to biomimetic mineralization protocols. GFPP was incubated in modified simulated body fluid (mSBF) or polymer-induced liquid precursor (PILP) solutions in the presence of recombinant DDR2 ECD (DDR2-Fc) to mediate extra or intra-fibrillar mineralization of collagen. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that DDR2-Fc increased mineral content in GFPP calcified in mSBF while no significant differences were observed in PILP mediated mineralization. Electron microscopy approaches were used to evaluate the quality and quantity mineral deposits. An increase in the matrix to mineral ratio, frequency of particles and size of mineral deposits was observed in the presence of DDR2-Fc in mSBF. Von Kossa staining and immunohistochemistry analysis of adjacent sections indicated that DDR2-Fc bound to both the matrix and mineral phase of GFPP. Further, DDR2-Fc was found to bind to hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles and enhance the nucleation of mineral deposits in mSBF solutions independent of collagen. Taken together, our results elucidate DDR2 ECD as a novel player in the modulation of extra-fibrillar mineralization of collagen.
