Synovial fluid pH sensor for early detection of prosthetic hip infections.
Article in Advanced functional materials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
We describe an implantable sensor developed to measure synovial fluid pH for noninvasive early detection and monitoring of hip infections using standard-of-care plain radiography. The sensor was made of a pH responsive polyacrylic acid-based hydrogel, which expands at high pH and contracts at low pH. A radiodense tantalum bead and a tungsten wire were embedded in the two ends of the hydrogel in order to monitor the change in length of the hydrogel sensor in response to pH via plain radiography. The effective pK
