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

Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) leverages native architecture and bioactive components for tissue regeneration, yet its therapeutic efficacy is constrained by donor tissue maturity. While mature-tissue-derived dECM (Mat-dECM) lacks developmental signals, developmental-stage dECM (Dev-dECM) retains these cues but is limited by scarce sources and poor adaptability to adult environments. Here, we proposed postnatal maxillofacial odontogenic tissues as a novel Dev-dECM (pDev-dECM) source. Leveraging its unique trans-stage development-spanning embryonic crown formation to postnatal periodontal maturation-pDev-dECM balances developmental potency with adult environment adaptability. Multiomics comparative analysis revealed that pDev-dECM is enriched in arginylglycylaspartic-acid-containing proteins, which activate macrophage integrin αvβ5-mediated efferocytosis. This mechanism drives macrophage polarization toward regenerative M2 phenotypes, ensures adaptability to the adult environment, and reprograms mesenchymal stem cells to orchestrate developmental recapitulation. Consequently, pDev-dECM not only enabled in situ hierarchical regeneration of the periodontal complex but also facilitated cross-organ hierarchical regeneration in skin and muscle defect models. These findings demonstrate that pDev-dECM exerts spatiotemporal control over developmental recapitulation, establishing a universal biomaterial paradigm for multiscale tissue reconfiguration.
