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

Natural bone is a complex composite, consisting predominantly of collagen and hydroxyapatite (HA), which form a highly organized, hierarchical structure from the nano- to the macroscale. Because of its biphasic, anisotropic, ultrafine structural design, bone tissue possesses excellent mechanical properties. Herein, inspired by the composition and microstructure of natural bone, a biphasic composite consisting of highly aligned strontium/copper-doped one-dimensional hydroxyapatite (Sr/Cu-doped 1D HA) and poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLA) was developed. The presence and alignment of Sr/Cu-doped 1D HA crystals resulted in mechanical reinforcement of the polymer matrix, including compressive and tensile strength and modulus, fracture toughness, swelling resistance, and long-term structural stability. The compressive strength, tensile strength, and Young's modulus of the biomimetic composite were comparable to that of cortical bone. Biologically, the biomimetic composite showed a sustained release of the incorporated Sr and Cu ions, facilitated mineral deposition from simulated body fluid, and supported attachment, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Moreover, the highly aligned Sr/Cu-doped 1D HA crystals in the 3D porous scaffolds induced the alignment of hMSCs and secretion of an anisotropic collagen fiber matrix in 3D. The biomimetic Sr/Cu-doped 1D HA/PDLA composite presented here contributes to the current efforts aiming at the design and development of load-bearing bioactive synthetic bone graft substitutes. Moreover, the biomimetic composite may serve as a 3D platform for studying cell-extracellular matrix interactions in bone tissue.
