Unveiling the Potential of Bioactive Glass in Volumetric Muscle Loss Regeneration.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Injuries characterized by significant loss of skeletal muscle tissue volume, known as volumetric muscle loss (VML), lead to substantial impairment in functional capabilities. Natural repair processes and existing medical interventions fall short of fully restoring function post-VML. Despite progress in the VML field, there is an unsatisfactory success rate, donor site morbidity, and inefficient reconstruction of lost muscle tissue. This leads to persistent strength and functional deficits, impacting the quality of life for VML patients. In recent years, studies have explored the potential of bioactive glasses (BGs) as crucial materials in regenerating tissues beyond the skeletal system. BG, used mainly in bone engineering, can aid muscle repair by releasing ions like calcium and phosphate to stimulate cellular response. However, current BG composites struggle to match the mechanical properties of soft tissues, limiting seamless healing. This review summarizes recent advances in various BG structures studied for skeletal muscle tissue regeneration.
