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

Composite scaffolds of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles and bioactive glass (BG) have been applied as appropriate materials for bone tissue engineering. In this study, hydroxyapatite/bioglass cement in different ratios was successfully fabricated. To prepare HAp and HAp/BG cement, synthesized HAp and HAp/BG powder were mixed in several ratios, using different concentrations of sodium hydrogen phosphate (SP) and water as the liquid phase. The liquid to powder ratio used was 0.4 mL/g. The results showed that setting time increased with BG content in the composite. The results also showed that with the addition of bioglass to the HAp structure, the density decreased and the porosity increased. It was also found that after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution, the compressive strength of the HAp and HAp/BG cements increased with BG concentration up to 30 wt.%. SEM results showed the formation of an apatite layer in all selected samples after immersion in SBF solution. At 30 wt.% BG, greater nucleation and growth of the apatite layer were observed, resulting in higher bioactivity than pure HAp and HAp/BG in other ratios.
