The impact of hyaluronic acid coating on polyether ether ketone dental implant surface: An in vitro analysis.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), a biocompatible polymer, is being explored as an alternative to metallic alloys for dental implants due to its aesthetic and mechanical properties. This study aimed to enhance the surface biofunctionality through evaluating human MG-63 osteoblastic cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. Method: Following the sandblasting and plasma treatment of the 3D-printed PEEK discs, a layer of hyaluronic acid (Hya) was coated onto the PEEK surface. Osteoblast cells were seeded onto the discs. The groups consisted of Hya-coated PEEK, uncoated PEEK, and a control group. Cell viability, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization potential were examined after seven and twenty-one days of cell seeding using the MTT test, DAPI staining technique, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), and alizarin red staining. Results: Hya-coated PEEK increased cell viability (1.48 ± 0.13, 1.49 ± 0.09) compared to the uncoated group (1.19 ± 0.06, 1.26 ± 0.07) and control group (0.98 ± 0.04, 1.00 ± 0.07) after 7 and 21 days. Proliferation rates of coated group (60.50 ± 3.08) were greater than the uncoated (50.33 ± 2.58) and control group (38.33 ± 4.88) at 21 days, respectively. Additionally, the ALP activity on Hya-coated PEEK disks (5.55 ± 0.65, 7.54 ± 0.64) was notably higher than that of the uncoated group (1.08 ± 0.49, 2.59 ± 0.68), and control group (0.16 ± 0.09, 0.34 ± 0.18) at both time periods. Alizarin red staining in the Hya-coated PEEK group (1.81 ± 0.23, 1.97 ± 0.20) was significantly greater in comparison with uncoated group (1.12 ± 0.17, 1.14 ± 0.19) and control group (0.99 ± 0.10, 0.98 ± 0.05) at both time intervals. Conclusion: Hya's surface coating has enhanced the biofunctional properties of PEEK implant material, as demonstrated by improved cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization potential.
