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

Irregular alveolar bone defects pose persistent clinical challenges due to their complex morphology and the lack of biomaterials that simultaneously provide structural integrity, biocompatibility, and dynamic osteoinductive potential. Herein, we report a fiber-reinforced, dual-network hydrogel system (OHADN fiber@Yoda1 hydrogel) engineered to recapitulate mechanobiological cues for enhanced bone regeneration. This injectable hydrogel integrates oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) crosslinked with Yoda1-loaded PLGA-collagen fiber fragments and stabilized via catechol-Fe³⁺ coordination, forming a robust and self-healing structure. The fiber network enhances matrix stiffness and sustains Yoda1 release, promoting PIEZO1 activation in stem cells and enabling persistent mechanotransduction. In vitro, this system effectively regulates macrophage polarization, maintains cellular tension homeostasis, and significantly upregulates osteogenic markers via the PIEZO1-ITGα5 axis. Transcriptomic profiling and mechanistic validation revealed that focal adhesion and cytoskeletal signaling pathways are enriched upon hydrogel treatment. In a rat alveolar bone defect model, the OHADN fiber@Yoda1 hydrogel demonstrated superior bone volume restoration and trabecular architecture compared to conventional materials. This work presents a promising paradigm for spatiotemporal control of osteoimmune microenvironments through mechanoresponsive biomaterials.
