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

backgroundThe healing of large critical-sized bone defects remains a clinical challenge in modern orthopedic medicine. The current gold standard for treating critical-sized bone defects is autologous bone graft; however, it has critical limitations. Bone tissue engineering has been proposed as a viable alternative, not only for replacing the current standard treatment, but also for producing complete regeneration of bone tissue without complex surgical treatments or tissue transplantation. In this study, we proposed a transplantable radially patterned scaffold for bone regeneration that was defined by capillary force lithography technology using biodegradable polycaprolactone polymer.

resultsThe radially patterned transplantable biodegradable scaffolds had a radial structure aligned in a central direction. The radially aligned pattern significantly promoted the recruitment of host cells and migration of osteoblasts into the defect site. Furthermore, the transplantable scaffolds promoted regeneration of critical-sized bone defects by inducing cell migration and differentiation.

conclusionsOur findings demonstrated that topographically defined radially patterned transplantable biodegradable scaffolds may have great potential for clinical application of bone tissue regeneration.
