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

The functional and structural reconstruction of the tendon-bone interface (TBI) is a major challenge in orthopedics and sports medicine. Under the influence of chronic degenerative pathologies such as aging, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis, the cascading collapse of the local immune-metabolic network disrupts the regenerative microenvironment of the tissue, making the clinical translation of traditional inert physical scaffolds extremely difficult. This review systematically summarizes the latest paradigm shifts in "bone immunoengineering" aimed at overcoming the complex challenges of TBI regeneration. We first decode the core regulatory networks that control interface heterogeneity remodeling, thoroughly analyzing the spatiotemporal polarization dynamics of macrophages, the double-edged effects of the Piezo1-YAP mechanotransduction axis, and the "neuro-immune-skeletal" ternary communication mechanism. Based on this pathological framework, we comprehensively overview next-generation intelligent biophysical and chemical intervention strategies for actively reprogramming extreme microenvironments. These strategies include piezoelectric nanohydrogels for electromechanical-metabolic coupling, Janus asymmetric microfluidic interfaces for multi-ion spatiotemporal rectification, and precise spatial delivery platforms for targeted clearance of senescent cells and engineered exosomes. Furthermore, to overcome the translational barriers between underlying mechanisms and clinical applications, we focus on the cross-scale evolution of preclinical evaluation systems, elaborating on the core value of three-dimensional tendon-bone organoids, microfluidic organ-on-chip systems, and high-resolution spatial transcriptomics. Finally, this review envisions advanced microphysiological systems characterized by closed-loop dynamic adaptive biomaterials, spatiotemporal matching of degradation kinetics, and deep integration with artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting their broad prospects in driving the next-generation of personalized, precise regenerative medicine in orthopedics.
