Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cerium-vanadium conversion coatings were investigated as pretreatment layers to improve hydroxyapatite (HA) deposition on AZ31 magnesium alloy for enhanced corrosion protection and in-vitro bioactivity. Cerium-only (CeCC), vanadium-only (VCC), and a mixed Ce/V conversion coating (CeVCC) were prepared, and the optimized mixed conversion layer was subsequently used as the pretreatment for HA deposition to form a CeVCC + HA hybrid coating. Surface morphology and elemental composition were characterized by SEM/EDS, while wettability and surface functional groups were evaluated using static water contact-angle measurements and ATR-FTIR, respectively. Corrosion behavior in simulated body fluid (SBF) was assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) during prolonged immersion, complemented by hydrogen evolution measurements as kinetic indicators of Mg degradation. The CeVCC pretreatment produced a more compact and uniform surface and promoted homogeneous HA growth with improved interfacial integrity. Compared with bare AZ31 and single-layer coatings, the CeVCC + HA hybrid exhibited a higher impedance response and lower hydrogen evolution, indicating a markedly lower corrosion rate, while retaining Ca-P surface characteristics associated with bioactive behavior in SBF. These results demonstrate that Ce/V conversion pretreatment is an effective strategy for stabilizing HA coatings on Mg alloys and improving their performance in physiological environments.
