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

With an upsurge of biodegradable metal implants, the research and application of Mg alloys in the gastrointestinal environment of the digestive tract have been of great interest. Digestive enzymes, mainly pepsin in the stomach and pancreatin in the small intestine, are widespread in the gastrointestinal tract, but their effect on the degradation of Mg alloys has not been well understood. In this study, we investigated the impacts of pepsin and pancreatin on the degradation of Mg-2Zn alloy wires. The results showed that the pepsin and pancreatin had completely different even the opposite effects on the degradation of Mg, although they both affected the degradation product layer. The degradation rate of Mg wire declined with the addition of pepsin in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) but rose with the addition of pancreatin in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). The opposite trends in degradation rate also resulted in completely different degradation morphologies in wires surface, where the pitting corrosion in SGF was inhibited because of the physical barrier effect of pepsin adsorption. In contrast, the adsorption of pancreatin affected the integrity of magnesium hydrogen phosphate film, causing a relatively uneven degraded surface. These results may help us to understand the role of different digestive enzymes in the degradation of magnesium and facilitate the development and clinical application of magnesium alloy implanted devices for the digestive tract.
