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

Tissue regeneration based on the utilization of artificial soft materials is considered a promising treatment for bone-related diseases. Here, we report cranial bone regeneration promoted by hydrogels that contain parathyroid hormone (PTH) peptide PTH(1-34) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP). A combination of the positively charged natural polymer chitosan (CS) and negatively charged sodium alginate led to the formation of hydrogels with porous structures, as shown by scanning electron microscopy. Rheological characterizations revealed that the mechanical properties of the hydrogels were almost maintained upon the addition of nHAP and PTH(1-34). In vitro experiments showed that the hydrogel containing nHAP and PTH(1-34) exhibited strong biocompatibility and facilitated osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) via the Notch signaling pathway, as shown by the upregulated expression of osteogenic-related proteins. We found that increasing the content of PTH(1-34) in the hydrogels resulted in enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Implantation of the complex hydrogel into a rat cranial defect model led to efficient bone regeneration compared to the rats treated with the hydrogel alone or with nHAP, indicating the simultaneous therapeutic effect of nHAP and PTH during the treatment process. Both the in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that simultaneously incorporating nHAP and PTH into hydrogels shows promise for bone regeneration, suggesting a new strategy for tissue engineering and regeneration in the future.
