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

Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) membranes have been widely used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR). In addition, hydroxyapatite is the major inorganic component and an essential composition of hard bone and teeth. Recently, numerous studies have demonstrated that strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrHA) not only enhances osteogenesis but also inhibits adipogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, SrHA incorporated into PCL could be an alternative material for GBR. In this study, strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite nanofibers (SrHANFs) were fabricated by a sol-gel route followed by electrospinning. We then fabricated PCL-SrHANF membranes as cell culture substrates and assessed the cellular behavior of osteoblast-like cells. Based on the observations of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin (OCN) immunofluorescence staining, and Alizarin Red-S staining of cells cultured on the PCL-SrHANF and PCL membranes, we concluded that SrHANFs can promote the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblast-like cells and that PCL-SrHANF membranes have potential for GBR applications.
