Geometric Mismatch Promotes Anatomic Repair in Periorbital Bony Defects in Skeletally Mature Yucatan Minipigs.
Article in Advanced healthcare materials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Porous tissue-engineered 3D-printed scaffolds are a compelling alternative to autografts for the treatment of large periorbital bone defects. Matching the defect-specific geometry has long been considered an optimal strategy to restore pre-injury anatomy. However, studies in large animal models have revealed that biomaterial-induced bone formation largely occurs around the scaffold periphery. Such ectopic bone formation in the periorbital region can affect vision and cause disfigurement. To enhance anatomic reconstruction, geometric mismatches are introduced in the scaffolds used to treat full thickness zygomatic defects created bilaterally in adult Yucatan minipigs. 3D-printed, anatomically-mirrored scaffolds are used in combination with autologous stromal vascular fraction of cells (SVF) for treatment. An advanced image-registration workflow is developed to quantify the post-surgical geometric mismatch and correlate it with the spatial pattern of the regenerating bone. Osteoconductive bone growth on the dorsal and ventral aspect of the defect enhances scaffold integration with the native bone while medio-lateral bone growth leads to failure of the scaffolds to integrate. A strong positive correlation is found between geometric mismatch and orthotopic bone deposition at the defect site. The data suggest that strategic mismatch >20% could improve bone scaffold design to promote enhanced regeneration, osseointegration, and long-term scaffold survivability.
