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-bone interface injuries, such as rotator cuff tears and anterior cruciate ligament ruptures, remain challenging due to the enthesis's complex structure and poor healing capacity. Conventional repair often fails to restore the fibrocartilaginous transition, causing mismatched integration and high retear rates. Biomaterial-based scaffolds provide biomechanical support and bioactive regulation, showing great promise for regeneration. Recent advances span natural polymers, synthetic polymers, bioceramics, and composites, with designs evolving from monophasic to multiphasic, gradient-based, and functionalized scaffolds. Emerging strategies emphasize immunomodulation, bio-signal delivery, and physical responsiveness, establishing a structure-signal-function paradigm to guide multi-tissue integration. However, translation faces major barriers, including inadequate animal models, manufacturing and scalability challenges, long-term safety concerns, and regulatory complexity, as well as the need to balance personalization with cost. Future directions point to intelligent biomaterials, AI-driven design, and integrated translational frameworks to bridge preclinical research and clinical application. Overall, advanced scaffold engineering offers transformative potential for functional tendon-bone regeneration, but successful translation will depend on close collaboration among biology, materials science, engineering, and medicine.
