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
Zr-Ti based thin-film metallic glasses (TFMGs) constitute promising candidates for biomedical applications. Expected surfaces that are eligible for use inside the body have to gather a high biocompatibility, while preventing bacterial colonization. The objective of this work is to investigate potentialities opened by the innovative ternary Zr-Ti-Ag system. Films were deposited by magnetron cosputtering from independent targets, allowing a wide silver enrichment (10-41 at % Ag). Films were studied regarding their microstructural, mechanical, physicochemical, and biological properties. These properties were discussed in light of the films' composition. This study established that the structure of the films was strongly influenced by their silver content. The expected amorphous structure was obtained between 20 and 36 at % Ag, for which mechanical properties are high, and compatible with a potential biomedical application. Surface is then very smooth, with presence of dispersed micrometric crystallized islets. Evolution of the surface wettability was found to be primarily governed by the film morphology rather than by its chemical composition. Biologically, a pronounced antibacterial activity against both
