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

Hydroxyapatites (HA) co-doped with Li⁺ and Bi³⁺ ions were synthesized by a microwave-assisted wet precipitation method to improve their structural, biological, and antibacterial performances. Dual doping of Li⁺ and Bi³⁺ ions led to an increase in crystallinity and crystallite size compared to single doping, indicating successful incorporation of dopants into the HA lattice. Co-doping also resulted in minor lattice distortions without altering the phase purity of HA. Biological characterization using adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells revealed that Bi incorporation enhanced cell proliferation and osteogenic activity, whereas excessive Li addition caused partial cytotoxicity. Interestingly, Li/Bi co-doping balanced this effect, leading to improved cell viability and differentiation compared to single-doped samples. Moreover, Li and Bi substitutions imparted significant antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. faecalis, and C. albicans, demonstrating the dual bioactive and antimicrobial nature of the material. The combined influence of Li⁺ and Bi³⁺ ions effectively modified the crystallinity and biological response of HA, suggesting that Li-Bi co-doped HA is a promising candidate for multifunctional coatings and bone tissue engineering applications.
