A magnetoelastic bone fixation device for controlled mechanical stimulation at femoral fractures in rodents.
Article in Engineering research express, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Studies have shown that mechanical stimulations can provide anabolic bone formation and counteract conditions such as osteoporosis in intact bones, as well as promote healing of bone fractures. However, many of these studies are based on external mechanical loading platforms or bulky wearable force loading systems, which are inconvenient and impractical in clinical settings especially for the treatment of bone injuries. To overcome this limitation, a bone fixation device was developed to provide localized mechanical strains across a bone fracture site. The fixation device, designed for a rodent's femoral fracture (critical-size segmental defect), is consisted of a magnetoelastic (ME) actuator that changes its physical dimension when exposed to magnetic fields. The strain produced by the ME actuator is transferred to the bone fixation device, which acts directly on the bone-implant interface to produce a highly focused and localized mechanical loading. The actuation generated by the fixation device was evaluated, and results show the device was able to provide up to 150
