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

Despite orientationally variant tears of the meniscus, suture repair is the current clinical gold treatment. However, inaccessible tears in company with re-tears susceptibility remain unresolved. To extend meniscal repair tools from the perspective of adhesion and regeneration, we design a dual functional biologic-released bioadhesive (S-PIL10) comprised of methacrylated silk fibroin crosslinked with phenylboronic acid-ionic liquid loading with growth factor TGF-β1, which integrates chemo-mechanical restoration with inner meniscal regeneration. Supramolecular interactions of β-sheets and hydrogen bonds richened by phenylboronic acid-ionic liquid (PIL) result in enhanced wet adhesion, swelling resistance, and anti-fatigue capabilities, compared to neat silk fibroin gel. Besides, elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by S-PIL10 further fortifies localized meniscus tear repair by affecting inflammatory microenvironment with dynamic borate ester bonds, and S-PIL10 continuously releases TGF-β1 for cell recruitment and bridging of defect edge. In vivo rabbit models functionally evidence the seamless and dense reconstruction of torn meniscus, verifying that the concept of meniscus adhesive is feasible and providing a promising revolutionary strategy for preclinical research to repair meniscus tears.
