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

Soft tissue remodeling is a sophisticated process that sequentially provides dynamic biological signals to guide cell behavior. However, capturing these signals within hydrogel and directing over time has still been unrealized owing to the poor comprehension of physiological processes. Here, a bio-mimicking hydrogel is designed via thiol-ene click reaction to capture the early physical signal triggered by inflammation, and the chemical signals provided with chemokine and natural adhesion sites, which guaranteed the precise soft tissue remodeling. This bio-mimicking hydrogel efficiently facilitated cell anchoring, migration, and invasion in the 3D matrix due to the permissive space and the interaction with integrin receptors. Besides, the covalently grafted chemokine-like peptide is optimal for colonization and functional differentiation of endothelial cells through a HIF-1α dependent signal pathway. Furthermore, the early polarization of macrophages, collagen deposition and angiogenesis in rat acute wound model, and the increased blood perfusion in mouse skin flap model have confirmed that the bio-mimicking hydrogel realized precise soft tissue remodeling and opens new avenues for the phased repair of different tissues such as nerve, myocardium, and even bone.
