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

With the rapid increase in population aging, the number of surgical operations in orthopedics is expected to increase. The gap between the materials applied in clinical orthopedics and materials in discovery and research is obvious due to regulatory requirements for biosafety and treatment efficacy. For the bedside needs, it is important to overcome hurdles by achieving impactful innovation and clinical translation of orthopedic materials. Magnesium (Mg), as an emerging bioactive material, is one of the vital components of the human body and mainly stored in the musculoskeletal system as either a matrix component or an intracellular element for the homeostasis of various physiological functions. However, the degradation and biomechanical performance limit the applications of Mg. This review aims to explore the current challenges and future directions of Mg for clinical translation and provide an update on biomaterials used in orthopedics, factors driving orthopedic innovation, physiology of magnesium ions (Mg
