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

Currently, the onset of bone damage and the interaction of cracks with the surrounding micro-architecture are still black boxes. With the motivation to address this issue, our research targets isolating lacunar morphological and densitometric effects on crack advancement under both static and cyclic loading conditions by implementing static extended finite element models (XFEM) and fatigue analyses. The effect of lacunar pathological alterations on damage initiation and progression is evaluated; the results indicate that high lacunar density considerably reduces the mechanical strength of the specimens, resulting as the most influencing parameter among the studied ones. Lacunar size has a lower effect on mechanical strength, reducing it by 2%. Additionally, specific lacunar alignments play a key role in deviating the crack path, eventually slowing its progression. This could shed some light on evaluating the effects of lacunar alterations on fracture evolution in the presence of pathologies.
