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

Tendon injuries often lead to joint dysfunction due to the limited self-regeneration capacity of tendons. Repairing tendons is a major challenge for surgeons and imposes a significant financial burden on society. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop effective strategies for repairing injured tendons. Tendon tissue engineering using hydrogels has emerged as a promising approach that has attracted considerable interest. Hydrogels possess excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, enabling them to create an extracellular matrix-like growth environment for cells. They can also serve as a carrier for cells or other substances to accelerate tendon repair. In the past decade, numerous studies have made significant progress in the preparation of hydrogel scaffolds for tendon healing. This review aims to provide an overview of recent research on the materials of hydrogel-based scaffolds used for tendon tissue engineering and discusses the delivery systems based on them.
