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

Magnesium (Mg) and Mg alloys are considered as potential candidates for biomedical applications because of their high specific strength, low density, and elastic modulus, degradability, good biocompatibility and biomechanical compatibility. However, the rapid corrosion rate of Mg alloys results in premature loss of mechanical integrity, limiting their clinical application in load-bearing parts. Besides, the low strength of Mg alloys restricts their further application. Thus, it is essential to understand the characteristics and influencing factors of mechanical and corrosion behavior, as well as the methods to improve the mechanical performances and corrosion resistance of Mg alloys. This paper reviews the recent progress in elucidating the corrosion mechanism, optimizing the composition, and microstructure, enhancing the mechanical performances, and controlling the degradation rate of Mg alloys. In particular, the research progress of surface modification technology of Mg alloys is emphasized. Finally, the development direction of biomedical Mg alloys in the future is prospected.
