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

Titanium and its alloys are widely used for orthopedic implants, but their intrinsic bioinertness may hinder osseointegration. In this study, titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) arrays were fabricated on Ti-6Al-4V scaffolds via anodization, and their effects on the adhesion behavior of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were investigated. Surface characterization showed that anodization successfully generated ordered TNT layers, increased surface roughness, enhanced protein adsorption, and induced an apparent superhydrophilic wetting response. Compared to the untreated scaffold and TNT50, the small-diameter TNT10 surface significantly promoted hBMSC adhesion and proliferation. Microscope imaging further revealed enhanced cell spreading, F-actin organization, and vinculin expression on TNT surfaces, with the most prominent focal adhesion-related staining observed in TNT10. Quantitative proteomic analysis showed that TNT10 was associated with coordinated remodeling of adhesion- and cytoskeleton-related molecular programs, including focal adhesion, cell-substrate junction, and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. In contrast, TNT50, despite supporting obvious cytoskeletal remodeling, was more compatible with a dynamic, higher-turnover adhesion state. Overall, these findings suggest that small-diameter TNTs provide a more favorable interfacial microenvironment for stable early hBMSC adhesion on porous titanium scaffolds.
