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

Implant-associated infections (IAIs) represent one of the most challenging complications following orthopedic implantation. Current antibacterial strategies struggle to achieve complete pathogen eradication while maintaining sustained osteogenic activity at the implant-bone interface. Leveraging the spatial divergence in energy metabolism between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, we designed and synthesized guanidine-quaternary ammonium polymer-derived carbon dots (GQCDs) with confirmed structure. Under non-infected conditions, GQCDs enhance mitochondrial metabolism to promote bone regeneration. In infected microenvironments, GQCDs not only selectively target bacterial membranes and inhibit the respiratory chain to exert potent antibacterial effects, but also downregulate host inflammatory responses and restore mitochondrial function in osteoblasts, thereby creating a favorable microenvironment for bone repair. GQCDs can be stably integrated onto various clinical implant substrates via a coating process. GQCDs-coated implants possessed the dual antibacterial and osteogenic functionalities, which were validated using
