Tunable Enzyme-Assisted Mineralization of Apatitic Calcium Phosphate by Homogeneous Catalysis.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
While it has long been mimicked by simple precipitation reactions under biologically relevant conditions, calcium phosphate biomineralization is a complex process, which is highly regulated by physicochemical factors and involves a variety of proteins and other biomolecules. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), in particular, is a conductor of sorts, directly regulating the amount of orthophosphate ions available for mineralization. Herein, we explore enzyme-assisted mineralization in the homogeneous phase as a method for biomimetic mineralization and focus on how relevant ionic substitution types affect the obtained minerals. For this purpose, mineralization is performed over a range of enzyme substrate concentrations and fluoride concentrations at physiologically relevant conditions (pH 7.4, T = 37 °C). Refinement of X-ray diffraction data is used to study the crystallographic unit cell parameters for evidence of ionic substitution in the lattice, and infrared (IR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) are used for complementary information regarding the chemical composition of the minerals. The results show the formation of substituted hydroxyapatite (HAP) after 48 h mineralization in all conditions. Interestingly, an expansion of the crystalline unit cell with an increasing concentration of the enzyme substrate is observed, with only slight changes in the particle morphology. On the contrary, by increasing the amount of fluoride, while keeping the enzyme substrate concentration unchanged, a contraction of the crystalline unit cell and the formation of elongated, well-crystallized rods are observed. Complementary IR and XPS data indicate that these trends are explained by the incorporation of substituted ions, namely CO
