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

Orthopedic site infections remain a growing concern in implantology, particularly in light of rising antibiotic resistance. Identifying optimal, standardized antimicrobial treatments is increasingly challenging. Beyond the design and functional properties of orthopedic materials, key factors such as bacterial adhesion and genotoxicity must also be considered. To develop implant materials with enhanced antibacterial properties and biocompatibility, this study investigated titanium (Ti) surfaces coated with chitosan (CS) and silver-doped hydroxyapatite (AgHA) at weight ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. The incorporation of silver ions into hydroxyapatite demonstrated potent antibacterial activity, achieving a greater than 99% reduction in
