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 rate of stress relaxation of adhesion substrates potently regulates cell fate and function in vitro, and in this study the authors test whether it can regulate bone formation in vivo by implanting alginate gels with differing rates of stress-relaxation carrying human mesenchymal stem cells into rat calvarial defects. After three months, the rats that received fast-relaxing hydrogels (t
