Electrodeposited Zinc Coatings for Biomedical Application: Morphology, Corrosion and Biological Behaviour.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The improvement of biodegradable metals is currently an active and promising research area for their capabilities in implant manufacturing. However, controlling their degradation rate once their surface is in contact with the physiological media is a challenge. Surface treatments are in the way of addressing the improvement of this control. Zinc is a biocompatible metal present in the human body as well as a metal widely used in coatings to prevent corrosion, due to its well-known metal protective action. These two outstanding characteristics make zinc coating worthy of consideration to improve the degradation behaviour of implants. Electrodeposition is one of the most practical and common technologies to create protective zinc coatings on metals. This article aims to review the effect of the different parameters involved in the electrochemical process on the topography and corrosion characteristics of the zinc coating. However, certainly, it also provides an actual and comprehensive description of the state-of-the-art of the use of electrodeposited zinc for biomedical applications, focusing on their capacity to protect against bacterial colonization and to allow cell adhesion and proliferation.
