Harnessing mechanical cues in the cellular microenvironment for bone regeneration.
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
At the macroscale, bones experience a variety of compressive and tensile loads, and these loads cause deformations of the cortical and trabecular microstructure. These deformations produce a variety of stimuli in the cellular microenvironment that can influence the differentiation of marrow stromal cells (MSCs) and the activity of cells of the MSC lineage, including osteoblasts, osteocytes, and chondrocytes. Mechanotransduction, or conversion of mechanical stimuli to biochemical and biological signals, is thus part of a multiscale mechanobiological process that drives bone modeling, remodeling, fracture healing, and implant osseointegration. Despite strong evidence of the influence of a variety of mechanical cues, and multiple paradigms proposed to explain the influence of these cues on tissue growth and differentiation, even a working understanding of how skeletal cells respond to the complex combinations of stimuli in their microenvironments remains elusive. This review covers the current understanding of what types of microenvironmental mechanical cues MSCs respond to and what is known about how they respond in the presence of multiple such cues. We argue that in order to realize the vast potential for harnessing the cellular microenvironment for the enhancement of bone regeneration, additional investigations of how combinations of mechanical cues influence bone regeneration are needed.
