Hemocompatibility and cytotoxicity evaluation of additively manufactured and surface-treated 316 L stainless steel aortic stents using laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF).
Article in Journal of materials science. Materials in medicine, 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
New developments are needed in aortic replacement, with current hybrid solutions suffering from insufficient and rigid stent diameters, thus hindering minimization of false lumen in aortic dissection. Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an attractive method to generate a new-generation aortic stent. This study investigates the effects of 316 L stainless steel samples manufactured using the L-PBF process on the activity of fibroblasts, red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets on the modified surfaces. Cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility were analyzed under static culture conditions using immunofluorescence as well as scanning electron microscopic (SEM) techniques. Surfaces of additively manufactured samples were etched, electropolished, heat‑treated, and mechanically expanded to optimize the material's mechanical performance. Alone heat treatment increased the ultimate tensile strength from 585 ± 5 MPa to 695 ± 6 MPa. The additive manufactured and post-processed stents were non-cytotoxic (viability, > 70%, independent of the manufacturing status), non-hemolytic (hemolysis rate, < 1%), and were covered with only a few neutrophils (median (IQR), 25 (12-48) per mm
