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

Efficient stent implantation among others depends on avoiding the aggregation of platelets in the blood vessels and appropriate proliferation of endothelial cells and controlled proliferation of smooth muscle cells, which reduces the development of pathology, such as neointimal hyperplasia, thrombosis, and restenosis. The current article provides an elegant solution for prevention of platelet and smooth muscle cell adhesion and activation on stent surfaces while obtaining surface conditions to support the growth of human coronary artery endothelial cells. This was achieved by surface nanostructuring and chemical activation of the surface. Specific nanotopographies of titanium were obtained by electrochemical anodization, while appropriate chemical properties were attained by treatment of titanium oxide nanotubes by highly reactive oxygen plasma. Surface properties were studied by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Wettability was evaluated by measuring the water contact angle. The influence of nanostructured morphology and plasma modification on in vitro biological response with human coronary artery endothelia and smooth muscle cells as well as whole blood was studied. Our results show that a combination of nanostructuring and plasma modification of the surfaces is an effective way to achieve desired biological responses necessary for implantable materials such as stents.
