Determination of the Spatial Anisotropy of the Surface MicroStructures of Different Implant Materials: An Atomic Force Microscopy Study.
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 4 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
Many biomaterials' surfaces exhibit directional properties, i.e., possess spatial anisotropy on a range of spatial scales spanning from the domain of the naked eye to the sub-micrometer level. Spatial anisotropy of surface can influence the mechanical, physicochemical, and morphological characteristics of the biomaterial, thus affecting its functional behavior in relation, for example, to the host tissue response in regenerative processes, or to the efficacy of spatially organized surface patterns in avoiding bacterial attachment. Despite the importance of the availability of quantitative data, a comprehensive characterization of anisotropic topographies is generally a hard task due to the proliferation of parameters and inherent formal complications. This fact has led so far to excessive simplification that has often prevented researchers from having comparable results. In an attempt to overcome these issues, in this work a systematic and multiscale approach to spatial anisotropy is adopted, based on the determination of only two statistical parameters of surface, namely the texture aspect ratio
