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

Over past years, the fabrication of Ti-based permanent implants for fracture fixation, joint replacement and bone or tooth substitution, has become a routine task. However, it has been found that some degradation phenomena occurring on the Ti surface limits the life or the efficiency of the artificial constructs. The task of avoiding such adverse effects, to prevent microbial colonization and to accelerate osteointegration, is being faced by a variety of approaches in order to adapt Ti surfaces to the needs of osseous tissues. Among the large set of biocompatible materials proposed as an interface between Ti and the hosting tissue, diamond has been proven to offer bioactive and mechanical properties able to match the specific requirements of osteoblasts. Advances in material science and implant engineering are now enabling us to produce micro- or nano-crystalline diamond coatings on a variety of differently shaped Ti constructs. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the research currently ongoing in the field of diamond-coated orthopedic Ti implants and to examine the evolution of the concepts that are accelerating the full transition of such technology from the laboratory to clinical applications.
