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

Clinically, infectious bone defects represent a significant threat, leading to osteonecrosis, severely compromising patient prognosis, and prolonging hospital stays. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a bone graft substitute that combines broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy and bone-inductive properties, providing an effective treatment option for infectious bone defects. In this study, the precision of digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology was utilized to construct a scaffold, incorporating zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) modified barium titanate (BT) with hydroxyapatite (HA), resulting in a piezoelectric ceramic scaffold designed for the repair of infected bone defects. The results indicated that the addition of ZnO-NPs significantly improved the piezoelectric properties of BT, facilitating a higher HA content within the ceramic scaffold system, which is essential for bone regeneration. In vitro antibacterial assessments highlighted the scaffold's potent antibacterial capabilities. Moreover, combining the synergistic effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and piezoelectricity, results demonstrated that the scaffold promoted notable osteogenic and angiogenic potential, enhancing bone growth and repair. Furthermore, transcriptomics analysis results suggested that the early growth response-1 (EGR1) gene might be crucial in this process. This study introduces a novel method for constructing piezoelectric ceramic scaffolds exhibiting outstanding osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial properties under the combined influence of LIPUS, offering a promising treatment strategy for infectious bone defects.
