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

Chitosan nanofibre-apatite nuclei composites obtained by mixing apatite nuclei which possess high apatite-forming ability with chitosan nanofibre have been expected to be novel bone restorative materials with suitable properties such as light weight, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high mechanical strength, biocompatibility and bioactivity. In this study, the authors prepared three types of apatite nuclei by changing the reaction time aimed to optimise their crystallinity and fabricated their composites with chitosan nanofibre. In order to evaluate the bioactivity in vitro, the authors tested apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid. As a result, the materials showed enough apatite-forming ability in a short time by mixing chitosan nanofibre and apatite nuclei with extremely low crystallinity and their high reactivity in simulated body fluid.
