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

Traditional tissue-engineered cartilage applied in clinical practice consists of cell suspensions or gel-form materials for which it is difficult to maintain their shapes. Although biodegradable polymer scaffolds are used for shape retention, deformation after transplantation can occur. Here, we showed that periostin (PN), which is abundantly expressed in fibrous tissues, contributes to the maturation and shape retention of tissue-engineered cartilage through conformational changes in collagen molecules. The tissue-engineered cartilage transplanted in an environment lacking PN exhibited irregular shapes, while transplants originating from chondrocytes lacking PN showed limited regeneration. In the in vitro assay, PN added to the culture medium of chondrocytes failed to show any effects, while the 3D culture embedded within the collagen gel premixed with PN (10 μg/mL) enhanced chondrogenesis. The PN-mediated collagen structure enhanced the mechanical strength of the surrounding fibrous tissues and activated chondrocyte extracellular signaling by interstitial fibrous tissues.
