Radiopaque Implantable Biomaterials for Nerve Repair.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Repairing peripheral nerve injuries remains a clinical challenge. To enhance nerve regeneration and functional recovery, the use of auxiliary implantable biomaterial conduits has become widespread. After implantation, there is currently no way to assess the location or function of polymeric biomedical devices, as they cannot be easily differentiated from surrounding tissue using clinical imaging modalities. Adding nanoparticle contrast agents into polymer matrices can introduce radiopacity and enable imaging using computed tomography (CT), but radiopacity must be balanced with changes in material properties that impact device function and biological response. In this study radiopacity was introduced to porous films of polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) 50:50 and 85:15 with 0-40wt% biocompatible tantalum oxide (TaO
