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

Electrical stimulation holds promise for enhancing bone healing; however, it has not yet seen widespread clinical adoption. A significant obstacle is the limited understanding of the biological mechanisms involved and the electric field parameters required to trigger them. It has been observed that the intracellular calcium ion concentration increases upon electrical stimulation, possibly via the activation of voltage-gated calcium channels. In this work, we introduced a digital twin framework to rationally choose stimulation parameters. We aimed to induce a transmembrane potential sufficient to activate the voltage-gated calcium channels. We focused on kilohertz-frequency stimulation, which offers advantages for clinical translation, and applied electrical stimuli using a well-established direct-contact stimulation chamber. By combining this with live-cell calcium imaging, we observed the immediate stimulation effect. We found that a stimulation at
