Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma treatment increases hydrophilicity and promotes cell growth on titanium alloys in vitro.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Most medical implants are made of titanium. When titanium is exposed to air for a long time, hydrocarbons are deposited and the surface becomes hydrophobic. Cell attachment is important for bone ingrowth to occur on the implant surface, and hydrophilicity can enhance this. We examined whether non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma treatment could increase the hydrophilicity of the titanium surface. Samples coated with four widely used coating types [grit blasting, micro arc oxidation (MAO), titanium plasma spray (TPS), and direct metal fabrication (DMF)] were treated with plasma. Each of the four surface-treated samples was divided into groups with and without plasma treatment. We analysed wettability by surface analysis and evaluation of contact angles, cell proliferation, and adhesion using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy, absorbance tests, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay; four different Ti
