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

Titanium implants have been widely used as one of the most effective treatments of bone defects. However, the lack of osteogenesis and bacteria-resistant activities result in high infection and loosening rates of titanium implants. Anodic oxidation could easily construct titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) array on the surface of titanium, and the rough surface of TNTs is beneficial to the growth of osteoblast-related cells on the surface. And TNTs could be excellent drug carriers because of their single-entry tubular hollow structure. In this review, we aim at detailing the application of TNTs as drug carriers in the field of bone implants. Starting from the topography of TNTs, we illustrated the biological activity of the TNTs surface, the drugs for loading in TNTs, and the controlled and responsive release strategies of drug-loaded TNTs, respectively. At the end of this review, the shortcomings of TNTs as the drug carrier in the field of bone implants are discussed, and the development direction of this research field is also prospected.
