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

Blood clots (BCs) play a crucial biomechanical role in promoting osteogenesis and regulating mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) function and fate. This study shows that BC formation enhances MSC osteogenesis by activating Itgb1/Fak-mediated focal adhesion and subsequent Runx2-mediated bone regeneration. Notably, BC viscoelasticity regulates this effect by modulating Runx2 nuclear translocation. To mimic this property, a viscoelastic peptide bionic hydrogel named BCgel was developed, featuring a nanofiber network, Itgb1 binding affinity, BC-like viscoelasticity, and biosafety. The anticipated efficacy of BCgel is demonstrated by its ability to induce nuclear translocation of Runx2 and promote bone regeneration in both in vitro experiments and in vivo bone defect models with blood clot defect, conducted on rats as well as beagles. This study offers insights into the mechano-transduction mechanisms of MSCs during osteogenesis and presents potential guidelines for the design of viscoelastic hydrogels in bone regenerative medicine.
