Stimuli-Responsive Substrates to Control the Immunomodulatory Potential of Stromal Cells.
Review in Biomacromolecules, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have broad immunomodulatory properties that range from regulation, proliferation, differentiation, and immune cell activation to secreting bioactive molecules that inhibit inflammation and regulate immune response. These properties provide MSCs with high therapeutic potency that has been shown to be relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Hence, researchers have explored diverse strategies to control the immunomodulatory potential of stromal cells using polymeric substrates or scaffolds. These substrates alter the immunomodulatory response of MSCs, especially through biophysical cues such as matrix mechanical properties. To leverage these cell-matrix interactions as a strategy for priming MSCs, emerging studies have explored the use of stimuli-responsive substrates to enhance the therapeutic value of stromal cells. This review highlights how stimuli-responsive materials, including chemo-responsive, microenvironment-responsive, magneto-responsive, mechano-responsive, and photo-responsive substrates, have specifically been used to promote the immunomodulatory potential of stromal cells by controlling their secretory activity.
