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

Efficient therapeutic approaches for bone regeneration are urgently required to address the significant challenges associated with the repair of large-scale or long-segment bone defects. Peptide-functionalized hydrogels (PFHs) have emerged as important bioactive materials in bone tissue engineering because they produce biomimetic microenvironments enriched with multiple biochemical signals. This review summarizes the key fabrication techniques for PFHs and discusses their diverse applications in different fields. Furthermore, we systematically highlighted the biochemical functionalization of PFHs, which includes basic functions such as cell adhesion, cell recruitment, and osteoinduction; improved functions such as angiogenesis, biomineralization, immune regulation, and hormone regulation; and other functions, including antimicrobial and antitumor effects. Finally, critical biosafety considerations associated with PFHs and perspectives on developing intelligent PFHs are addressed. This review aims to inspire further research on PFHs and accelerate their applications in bone tissue engineering.
