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

The assembly of oligopeptide and polypeptide molecules can reconstruct various ordered advanced structures through intermolecular interactions to achieve protein-like biofunction. Here, we develop a "molecular velcro"-inspired peptide and gelatin co-assembly strategy, in which amphiphilic supramolecular tripeptides are attached to the molecular chain of gelatin methacryloyl via intra-/intermolecular interactions. We perform molecular docking and dynamics simulations to demonstrate the feasibility of this strategy and reveal the advanced structural transition of the co-assembled hydrogel, which brings more ordered β-sheet content and 10-fold or more compressive strength improvement. We conduct transcriptome analysis to reveal the role of co-assembled hydrogel in promoting cell proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation. Subcutaneous implantation evaluation confirms considerably reduced inflammatory responses and immunogenicity in comparison with type I collagen. We demonstrate that bone mesenchymal stem cells-laden co-assembled hydrogel can be stably fixed in rabbit knee joint defects by photocuring, which significantly facilitates hyaline cartilage regeneration after three months. This co-assembly strategy provides an approach for developing cartilage regenerative biomaterials.
