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

objectiveBecause of the evolving nature of tissue engineering scaffolds in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), the current study was carried out to evaluate the research productivity of tissue engineering scaffolds in the treatment of SCI.

methodsStudies published from 2000 to 2025 were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection with topics of spinal cord injury and tissue engineering scaffolds. The data were analyzed and visualized using the VOSviewer network analysis software.

resultsAmong 1542 articles analyzed, annual publications surged from 2000 to 2019, stabilizing thereafter. The U.S., China, and Canada led in productivity, with Northwestern University and the

conclusionsThis study provides the first bibliometric roadmap for tissue engineering scaffolds in SCI, identifying key trends, influential entities, and underexplored areas. The rise in hydrogels and international collaborations underscores opportunities for targeted research. These findings guide researchers in prioritizing high-impact journals, fostering partnerships, and advancing novel scaffold designs to bridge translational gaps in SCI treatment.
