Advances and challenges in biomaterials for tendon and enthesis repair.
Review in Bioactive materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Tendon and enthesis injuries are a global health problem affecting millions of people, causing huge medical expenditure and labor loss every year. However, due to their intricate tissue architecture, unique mechanical properties, and especially their sluggish and limited innate regenerative capacity, repairing these injuries remains a formidable clinical challenge. Here, we present a comprehensive review of biomaterials advances in tendon and enthesis repair recently. These biomaterials are categorized into two primary groups based on their potential clinical application conditions: biomaterials for T/E repairing and biomaterials for T/E replacement. The T/E repairing biomaterials were further divided into two groups: mechanical-enhanced biomaterials and bioactive biomaterials, according to the approaches they used to improve sutured tendon healing. We delve into the characteristics and underlying mechanisms of these various biomaterials to gain a deeper understanding of the current landscape in tendon and enthesis repair biomaterials. This review aims to highlight the prominent advancements while identifying the remaining gaps, ultimately inspiring future biomaterial design strategies.
