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

Two-dimensional boron offers unique advantages in bone tissue engineering, unlocking capabilities that conventional additives struggle to achieve. Herein, the 2D morphology and intrinsic bioactivity of boron nanoplatelets are leveraged, to be incorporated into collagen-based scaffolds and simultaneously achieve osteogenic, mechanically reinforcing, and antimicrobial effects, with a shift toward neurogenic, angiogenic, and anti-inflammatory signaling. Boron nanoplatelets, synthesized from nonlayered precursors using liquid-phase exfoliation, are combined with collagen to form boron-collagen scaffolds (BColl). Boron significantly reinforces the collagen matrix, beneficial for mechanoresponsive bone cells. Osteoblasts and mesenchymal stem cells exhibit healthy morphology and proliferation on BColl films and scaffolds, with extended culture leading to increased alkaline phosphatase release and significantly increased calcium deposition, indicating enhanced osteogenesis.
