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

Rotator cuff tear (RCT) is a common musculoskeletal disease that poses challenges for functional regeneration of the tendon-bone interface (TBI). The transition of TBI between soft and hard tissues determines its structural and physiological environment complexity. Here, we present an injectable biopiezoelectric material PVA/CNF/BTO@PDA (Piezoelectric) hydrogel based on three-dimensional (3D) printing inspired by the "muscle-electrical coupling". This Piezoelectric hydrogel indicated desirable piezoelectric and mechanical properties, excellent biodegradability, and biosafety. In vitro, electrical stimulation from Piezoelectric hydrogel by the Flexcell Tissue Train system promoted the polarization of macrophages to the M2 phenotype, directing the targeted aggregation and zonal-specific differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for TBI formation. Also, optimal piezoelectric stimulation of the Piezoelectric hydrogel could alleviate inflammatory factor expression and regulate the osteotendinogenic differentiation of BMSCs under an H
