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.
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
A recent study has shown that demineralized cortical bone (DCB) did not improve the healing of tendon-bone interface. Considering that there is a gradient of mineral content in the tendon-bone interface, we designed a segmentally demineralized cortical bone (sDCB) scaffold with two different regions: undemineralized cortical bone section within the scaffold (sDCB-B) and complete demineralized cortical bone section within the scaffold (sDCB-D), to mimic the natural structure of the tendon-bone interface. Furthermore, the extracellular matrix (ECM) from tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) was used to modify the sDCB-D region of sDCB to construct a novel scaffold (sDCB-ECM) for enhancing the bioactivity of the sDCB-D. The surface topography, elemental distribution, histological structure, and surface elastic modulus of the scaffold were observed using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, histological staining and atomic force microscopy. Cell proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and TDSCs cultured on scaffolds was evaluated using the Cell Counting kit-8, and cell viability was assessed by Live/Dead cell staining. Cell morphology was detected by fluorescent staining. The ability of the scaffolds to recruit stem cells was tested using transwell migration assay. The expression levels of bone-, cartilage- and tendon-related genes and proteins in stem cells were assessed by the polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Our results demonstrated that there was a gradient of Ca and P elements in sDCB, and TDSC-derived ECM existed on the surface of the sDCB-D region of sDCB. The sDCB-ECM could promote stem cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, the sDCB-B region of sDCB-ECM could stimulate osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and the sDCB-D-ECM region of sDCB-ECM could stimulate chondrogenic and tenogenic differentiation of TDSCs when compared to DCB. Our study indicated that sDCB-ECM might be a potential bioscaffold to enhance the tendon-bone interface regeneration.
