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
Nowadays, a great attention is directed into development of innovative multifunctional composites which may support bone tissue regeneration. This may be achieved by combining collagen and hydroxyapatite showing bioactivity, osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity with such biocompatible polymers as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Here PVA/PVP-based composites modified with hydroxyapatite (HAp, 10 wt.%) and collagen (30 wt.%) were obtained via UV radiation while two types of collagen were used (fish and bovine) and crosslinking agents differing in the average molecular weight. Next, their chemical structure was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, roughness of their surfaces was determined using a stylus contact profilometer while their wettability was evaluated by a sessile drop method followed by the measurements of their surface free energy. Subsequently, swelling properties of composites were verified in simulated physiological liquids as well as the behavior of composites in these liquids by pH measurements. It was proved that collagen-modified composites showed higher swelling ability (even 25% more) compared to unmodified ones, surface roughness, biocompatibility towards simulated physiological liquids and hydrophilicity (contact angles lower than 90°). Considering physicochemical properties of developed materials and a possibility of the preparation of their various shapes and sizes, it may be concluded that developed materials showed great application potential for biomedical use, e.g., as materials filling bone defects supporting their treatments and promoting bone tissue regeneration due to the presence of hydroxyapatite with osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties.
