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

Tendon/ligament-bone junctions (T/LBJs) are susceptible to damage during exercise, resulting in anterior cruciate ligament rupture or rotator cuff tear; however, their intricate hierarchical structure hinders self-regeneration. Multiphasic strategies have been explored to fuel heterogeneous tissue regeneration and integration. This review summarizes current multiphasic approaches for rejuvenating functional gradients in T/LBJ healing. Synthetic, natural, and organism-derived materials are available for in vivo validation. Both discrete and gradient layouts serve as sources of inspiration for organizing specific cues, based on the theories of biomaterial topology, biochemistry, mechanobiology, and in situ delivery therapy, which form interconnected network within the design. Novel engineering can be constructed by electrospinning, 3-dimensional printing, bioprinting, textiling, and other techniques. Despite these efforts being limited at present stage, multiphasic scaffolds show great potential for precise reproduction of native T/LBJs and offer promising solutions for clinical dilemmas.
