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

Understanding cell-material interactions is a prerequisite for the development of bio-inspired materials for tissue regeneration. While nanofibrous biomaterials have been widely used in tissue regeneration, the effects of nanofibrous architecture on stem cell behaviors are largely ambiguous because the previous biomaterial systems used for nanofiber-cell interactions could not exclude the interference of cell-cell interactions. In this study, we developed a unique micropatterning technology to confine one single stem cell in a microisland of the nanofibrous micropatterned matrix; therefore, eliminating any potential intercellular communications. The nanofibrous micropatterned matrix, which mimicked both the physical architecture and chemical composition of natural extracellular matrix, was fabricated by a combination of electrospinning, chemical crosslinking, and UV-initiated photolithography. Compared to the non-nanofibrous architecture, a bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) cultured on the nanofibrous microisland exhibited a more in vivo-like morphology, a smaller spreading area, less focal adhesion, and fewer stress fibers. The BMSC cultured on the nanofibrous microisland also had higher alkaline phosphatase activity, indicating nanofibrous architecture promoted BMSC differentiation. A mechanistic study reveals that nanofibers regulate single BMSC osteogenesis via the FAK/RhoA/YAP1 pathway. The nanofibrous micropatterned matrix developed in this study is an excellent platform to promote the fundamental understanding of cell-matrix interactions, ultimately provide valuable insights for the development of novel bio-inspired scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
