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

Calcium phosphate, particularly hydroxyapatite (HA), bears a close resemblance to human bones, rendering it a prevalent material in biomedical applications. This study focuses on the successful preparation of HA using a precipitation method with eggshell as a raw material. Subsequently, the HA powder was press-formed and sintered at various temperatures to investigate the impact of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties, including hardness, compressive strength, and fracture toughness, of the sintered HA samples (E-HA). Statistical analyses, including one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test, were conducted to determine significant differences in these properties at different sintering temperatures. Experimental findings revealed that as the sintering temperature increased, HA partially transformed into β-TCP between 800 and 1300 °C, with α-TCP observed at 1400 °C. The elimination of pores led to an increase in relative density, with a maximum relative density of 94.5% achieved at 1200 and 1300 °C. E-HA sintered at 1200 °C exhibited the highest hardness (5.08 GPa), compressive strength (255.79 MPa), and fracture toughness (1.21 MPa·m0.5). However, at 1400 °C, a slight decrease in apparent density (2.90 g/cm
