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

Biodegradable Mg-Ca-Sr alloys are promising candidates for temporary implant applications, but their degradation behavior is strongly influenced by alloy composition and electrolyte chemistry. This comparative short-term study investigated how increasing the Sr content from 0.5 to 1.5 wt.% influences the electrochemical response and surface characteristics of cast Mg-0.5Ca-xSr alloys in 0.9% NaCl and calcium- and magnesium-free Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS). Potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, quantitative image analysis, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used. Increasing the Sr content reduced the corrosion-current density from 0.0110 to 0.0039 mA/cm
