In Situ Programmable Modulation of Hydrogel Stiffness for Stage-Adaptive Bone Regeneration.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Bone defect healing is a dynamic process involving changes in the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which significantly influence cellular behavior and tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a dynamic stiffness hydrogel system designed to mimic the stiffness variation of the ECM during bone repair. The hydrogel, based on a 3D interpenetrating polymer network, enables in situ modulation of matrix stiffness by adjusting calcium ion concentrations through photothermal effects induced under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. The dynamic stiffness of the hydrogel was shown to support stem cell maintenance and promote osteogenic differentiation, aligning with the ECM characteristics observed in natural bone repair processes. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that the mechanical cues provided by the hydrogel system significantly impact stem cell stemness and osteogenic potential. Furthermore, the hydrogel exhibited the ability to repair critical-sized bone defects, underscoring its therapeutic potential. This work introduces a novel platform for bone tissue engineering, combining biomimicry and functional adaptability to optimize bone regeneration and laying the foundation for future clinical applications.
