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

Bone defects cause life-threatening risks and reduced quality of life. Researchers are advancing electrical stimulation technologies through sustained innovation to address these challenges. This review used a dual analytical approach integrating bibliometric analysis and expert modeling to systematically evaluate the evolution and trends of electrical stimulation in bone regeneration. A total of 2,069 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection met the inclusion criteria. Early-stage research focused on electrical properties of bone and electrical stimulation stimulator design. Recent trends show growing emphasis on novel material discovery and optimization for electrical stimulation applications. The field was undergoing rapid expansion, engaging growing numbers of countries, institutions, and researchers worldwide.
