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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive cartilage degradation accompanied by limited intrinsic repair capacity. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) transplantation has demonstrated potential for regenerating damaged joint tissue; however, the pathological microenvironment impairs SVF stemness, thereby limiting therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we developed a bioinspired hydrogel formed via the cross-linking of hyaluronic acid-grafted dopamine and a fibroblast growth factor 2-mimetic peptide-modified RADA16-I. This injectable hydrogel combined excellent gelation performance with multifunctionality, particularly in enhancing SVF proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation. The hydrogel activated forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) - mediated epigenetic reprogramming, enhancing DNA repair capacity and increasing chromatin accessibility at pluripotency loci. In a rat OA model, combined hydrogel and SVF transplantation significantly enhanced articular cartilage regeneration and ameliorated OA symptoms. This study provides preliminary evidence showing that a biomaterial-mediated epigenetic reprogramming strategy improves recovery in OA, highlighting the therapeutic potential of the novel hydrogel for stem cell-based regenerative medicine.
