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

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedic and dental implants due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, its inherently bioinert nature makes it present weak osteogenic activity, which greatly restricts its clinical adoption. Herein, strontium (Sr) is incorporated onto the surface of PEEK using mussel-inspired polydopamine coating to improve its osteogenic activity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ion release assay results confirm that different concentrations of Sr are incorporated onto the PEEK substrate surfaces. The strontium-modified PEEK samples show a stable Sr ion release in 35 days of detection. Better results of MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts adhesion, spreading, and proliferation can be observed in strontium-modified PEEK groups, which demonstrates strontium-modified PEEK samples with the improved MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts compatibility. The boosted osteogenic activity of strontium-modified PEEK samples has been demonstrated by the better performed of ALP activity, extracellular matrix mineralization, collagen secretion, and the remarkable up-regulation of ALP, OCN, OPN, Runx2, Col-I, BSP, and OSX of the MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts. Additionally, the strontium-modified PEEK samples exhibit a dose-dependent enhancement of osteoblasts compatibility and osteogenic activity, and the PEEK-Sr10 group shows the best. These findings indicate that strontium-decorated PEEK implants show promising application in orthopedic and dental implants.
