Functionalization of a Cortical Membrane with a Photodynamic Protocol.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2023. 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
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) comprehends the application of membranes to drive bone healing and to exclude non-osteogenic tissues from interfering with bone regeneration. However, the membranes may be exposed to bacterial attack, with the risk of failure of the GBR. Recently, an antibacterial photodynamic protocol (ALAD-PDT) based on a gel with 5% 5-aminolevulinic acid incubated for 45 min and irradiated for 7 min by a LED light at 630 nm, also showed a pro-proliferative effect on human fibroblasts and osteoblasts. The present study hypothesized that the functionalization of a porcine cortical membrane (soft-curved lamina, OsteoBiol) with ALAD-PDT might promote its osteoconductive properties. TEST 1 aimed to verify the response of osteoblasts seeded on lamina with respect to the plate surface (CTRL). TEST 2 aimed to investigate the effects of ALAD-PDT on the osteoblasts cultured on the lamina. SEM analyses were performed to study the topographical characteristics of the membrane surface, the adhesion, and the morphology of cells at 3 days. The viability was assessed at 3 days, the ALP activity at 7 days, and calcium deposition at 14 days. Results showed the porous surface of the lamina and the increase in cell attachment of osteoblasts with respect to controls. The proliferation, the ALP, and bone mineralization activity of osteoblasts seeded on lamina resulted in being significantly higher (
