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

Synthetic bone graft scaffolds aim to generate new bone tissue and alleviate the limitations of autografts and allografts. To meet that aim, it is essential to have a design approach able to generate scaffold architectures that will promote bone formation. Here, we present a topology-varying design optimization method, the "mixed-topology" approach, that generates new designs from a set of starting structures. This approach was used with objective functions focusing on improving the scaffold's local mechanical microenvironments to mechanobiologically promote bone formation within the scaffold and constraints to ensure manufacturability and achieve desired macroscale properties. The results demonstrate that this approach can successfully generate scaffold designs with improved microenvironments, taking into account different combinations of relevant stimuli and constraints.
