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

Tendon degeneration and injury often result in significant pain and functional impairment. Typically, tendon healing occurs through a scar-mediated response and may progress to chronic tendinopathy without timely intervention. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying early tendon repair remain poorly understood. Further investigation is also impeded by the limited availability of early tendon injury samples in clinical settings. In this study, we established a puncture-induced tendon injury model to investigate the molecular patterns and cellular subpopulations involved in early tendon injury across multiple time points. RNA sequencing identified seven gene sets with distinct expression profiles during the early stages of tendon injury. Single-cell RNA sequencing further revealed eight myeloid cell types and seven mesenchymal cell types participating in the tendon repair process. Together, these findings illuminate the molecular and cellular dynamics coordinating early tendon repair, providing insights that could inform future clinical treatments for tendinopathy and tendon injury.
