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 native extracellular matrix is continuously remodeled to form complex interconnected network structures that reversibly regulate stem cell behaviors. Both regulation and understanding of its intricate dynamicity can help to modulate numerous cell behaviors. However, neither of these has yet been achieved due to the lack of designing and modeling such complex structures with dynamic controllability. Here we report modularity-based mathematical modeling of extracellular matrix-emulating ligand inter-cluster connectivity using the graph theory. Increasing anisotropy of magnetic nano-blockers proportionately disconnects arginine-glycine-aspartic acid ligand-to-ligand interconnections and decreases the number of ligand inter-cluster edges. This phenomenon deactivates stem cells, which can be partly activated by linearizing the nano-blockers. Remote cyclic elevation of high-anisotropy nano-blockers flexibly generates nano-gaps under the nano-blockers and augments the number of ligand inter-cluster edges. Subsequently, integrin-presenting stem cell infiltration is stimulated, which reversibly intensifies focal adhesion and mechanotransduction-driven differentiation both in vitro and in vivo. Designing and systemically modeling extracellular matrix-mimetic geometries opens avenues for unraveling dynamic cell-material interactions for tissue regeneration.
