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

Loss of implant function is a common complication in orthopaedic and dental surgery. Among the primary causes of implant failure are peri-implant infections which often result in implant removal. This study demonstrates the development of a new antimicrobial titanium coating with ZnO nanoparticles of various sizes and morphologies immobilised in poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and alginate multilayers, combined with epitaxially grown vaterite crystals. The coated samples were characterised with various methods (FTIR, XRD, SEM) and surface properties were evaluated via water contact angle and surface charge measurements. Zinc ion release was quantified using ICP-MS. The antimicrobial efficacy of the coatings was tested against
