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

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by cartilage degeneration. It can cause severe pain, deformity and even amputation risk. However, existing clinical treatment methods for cartilage repair present certain deficiencies. Meanwhile, the repair effect of cartilage tissue engineering is also unsatisfactory. Cartilage organoids are multicellular aggregates with cartilage-like three-dimensional structure and function. On the one hand, cartilage organoids can be used to explore the pathogenesis of OA by constructing disease models. On the other hand, it can be used as filler for rapid cartilage repair. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-like three-dimensional environment is the key to construct cartilage organoids. Silk fibroin (SF)-based hydrogels not only have ECM-like structure, but also have unique mechanical properties and remarkable biocompatibility. Therefore, SF-based hydrogels are considered as ideal biomaterials for constructing cartilage organoids. In this review, we reviewed the studies of cartilage organoids and SF-based hydrogels. The advantages of SF-based hydrogels in constructing cartilage organoids and the iterative optimization of cartilage organoids through designing hydrogels by using artificial intelligence (AI) calculation are also discussed. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of OA using SF-based biomaterials and cartilage organoids.
