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

backgroundNanoporous anodic alumina (NAA) has emerged as a promising platform for localized drug delivery in biomedical implants owing to its tunable nanoscale pore structure and biocompatibility. However, achieving the desired pore characteristics currently relies on time-consuming trial-and-error adjustments of anodization parameters.

methodsWe developed a comprehensive data-driven machine learning framework using a feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) with three hidden layers (64-32-16 neurons) trained on 77 samples from a compiled dataset of 99 anodization experiments spanning 1995-2025. The model predicts the NAA pore diameter based on anodization conditions (electrolyte type, concentration, voltage, temperature, and time).

resultsThe ANN achieved R

conclusionsThis data-driven approach offers a powerful tool to reduce experimental iteration and accelerate the development of advanced drug-delivery implants by enabling the rational design of NAA pore structures for optimized drug loading and release kinetics.
