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

The increasing incidence of bone diseases has driven research towards Bone Tissue Engineering (BTE), an innovative discipline that uses biomaterials to develop three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds capable of mimicking the natural environment of bone tissue. Traditional approaches relying on two-dimensional (2D) models have exhibited significant limitations in simulating cellular interactions and the complexity of the bone microenvironment. In response to these challenges, 3D models such as organoids and cellular spheroids have emerged as effective tools for studying bone regeneration. Adult mesenchymal stem cells have proven crucial in this context, as they can differentiate into osteoblasts and contribute to bone tissue repair. Furthermore, the integration of composite biomaterials has shown substantial potential in enhancing bone healing. Advanced technologies like microfluidics offer additional opportunities to create controlled environments for cell culture, facilitating more detailed studies on bone regeneration. These advancements represent a fundamental step forward in the treatment of bone pathologies and the promotion of skeletal health. In this review, we report on the evolution of in vitro culture models applied to the study of bone healing/regrowth, starting from 2 to 3D cultures and microfluids. The different methodologies of in vitro model generation, cells and biomaterials are presented and discussed.
