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
There is a deep interest in developing new Ni-free Ti-based alloys to replace 316 L stainless steel and Co-Cr alloys for endovascular stent application, mainly because the release of Ni can generate toxicity and allergenicity. Interactions of Ti alloy biomaterials with bone cells and tissues have been widely investigated and reported, while interactions with vascular cells and tissues, such as endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), are scarce. Therefore, this study focused on the relationship among the surface finishing features, corrosion behavior and in vitro biological performances regarding human ECs, SMCs and blood of a newly developed Ti-8Mo-2Fe (TMF) alloy, specifically designed for balloon-expandable stent applications. The alloy performances were compared to those of 316 L and pure Ti, prepared with the same surface finishing techniques, which are mechanical polishing and electropolishing. Surface properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle (CA) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corrosion behavior was assessed with potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution. No significant differences were observed regarding the corrosion rate measured with PDP analyses, which was of the order of 2 × 10
