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

The issue of spine-related disorders is a global healthcare concern that requires effective solutions to restore normal spine functioning. Spinal fusion implants have become a standard approach for this purpose, making it crucial to develop biomaterials and structures that possess high osteogenic capacities and exhibit mechanical properties and dynamic responses similar to those of the host bone. This study focused on the fabrication of 3D-printed polyether ether ketone/silicon nitride (PEEK/SiN) scaffolds with a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure, which offers several advantages, such as a large surface area and uniform stress distribution under load. The mechanical properties and dynamic response of PEEK/SiN scaffolds with varying porosities were evaluated through mechanical testing and finite element analysis. The scaffold with 30% porosity exhibited a compressive strength (34.56 ± 1.91 MPa) and elastic modulus (734 ± 64 MPa) similar to those of trabecular bone. In addition, the scaffold demonstrated favorable damping properties. The biological data revealed that incorporating silicon nitride into the PEEK scaffold stimulated osteogenic differentiation. In light of these findings, it can be inferred that PEEK/SiN TPMS scaffolds exhibit significant potential for use in bone tissue engineering and represent a promising option as candidates for spinal fusion implants.
