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

β-titanium alloys attract great interest in surgical implants due to its low elastic modulus. The addition of Ag further enhances the strength, ductility, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of such alloys, which optimizes their compatibility with human bones. In this study, Ti-15Mo-xAg (x = 1, 5 wt.%) alloy rods were prepared by optimized melting, forging and rolling processes. The microstructural evolution, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior and biocompatibility of the alloy were systematically studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), mechanical testing, electrochemical analysis and biocompatibility assays. The results showed that the aged Ti-15Mo-5Ag alloy presented a special heterogeneous microstructure of β matrix and micro-nano scale precipitated phase (α
