Down to the Bone: A Novel Bio-Inspired Design Concept.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The solutions provided through natural evolution of living creatures serve as an ingenious source of inspiration for many technological and applicative fields. Along these lines, bone-inspired concepts lead to fascinating advances in product design, architecture and garments, thanks to the bone's exceptional combination of strength, toughness and lightness. Structural applications are inspired by the bone's ability to resist fracture under a large spectrum of forces, while the high surface area and pore connectivity of bone architecture present exciting opportunities from an aesthetic point of view. Behind these inspirations, a disruptive common belief emerges: "down to the bone", a journey in search of equality, universality and substantiality. Herein, we explore the current state of the art in bone-inspired applications in these fields, considering the two major categories of structural and aesthetic inspirations and discussing further technological developments.
