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

Hierarchically restructured platinum-iridium electrodes offer high electrochemical performance for neurostimulation and cardiac rhythm management devices but require added antibacterial functionality to reduce postsurgical infection risks. In this work, electrochemically active antibacterial platinum-iridium electrodes were developed using a two-step process. First, the electrodes were restructured using a femtosecond laser hierarchical surface restructuring. In the second step, reactive magnetron sputtering from a pure zinc target in an Ar/O
