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

Magnetic microscaffolds capable of targeted cell delivery have been developed for tissue regeneration. However, the microscaffolds developed so far with similar morphologies have limitations for applications to osteochondral disease, which requires simultaneous treatment of the cartilage and subchondral bone. This study proposes magnetically actuated microscaffolds tailored to the cartilage and subchondral bone for osteochondral tissue regeneration, named magnetically actuated microscaffolds for cartilage regeneration (MAM-CR) and for subchondral bone regeneration (MAM-SBR). The morphologies of the microscaffolds were controlled using a double emulsion and microfluidic flow. In addition, due to their different sizes, MAM-CR and MAM-SBR have different magnetizations because of the different amounts of magnetic nanoparticles attached to their surfaces. In terms of biocompatibility, both microscaffolds were shown to grow cells without toxicity as potential cell carriers. In magnetic actuation tests of the microscaffolds, the relatively larger MAM-SBR moved faster than the MAM-CR under the same magnetic field strength. In a feasibility test, the magnetic targeting of the microscaffolds in 3D knee cartilage phantoms showed that the MAM-SBR and MAM-CR were sequentially moved to the target sites. Thus, the proposed magnetically actuated microscaffolds provide noninvasive treatment for osteochondral tissue disease.
