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

The current study investigates the mechanical performance of the hollow cylindrical scaffolds with varying inner radii designed for bone tissue engineering. The biomimetic Voronoi-based structures with distinct inner diameters were manufactured using the stereolithography (SLA) technique and eco-friendly plant-based resin. The experimental results revealed that increasing the inner radius significantly reduces the mechanical properties of the biological scaffolds. Conversely, designs with a smaller inner diameter exhibited higher resistance to compressive stress and superior energy absorption. This work provides vital insights into constructing functional biodegradable supports which balance structural integrity with biological compatibility by optimising specific geometric parameters. These discoveries are intended to improve the efficiency of synthetic scaffolds utilised for medical regeneration and repair of fractures.
