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

Porous nanofibrous microspheres (PNMs) present a versatile and minimally invasive strategy for tissue regeneration, combining biomimetic morphology, tunable structure, and injectability. While self-assembly and co-axial electrospray are explored for PNM fabrication, these methods are limited in compositional versatility and production scalability. Here, a 3D-printed microfluidic platform is presented that enables large-scale fabrication of PNMs with precise control over size, pore architecture, and morphology. PNMs can be functionalized with bioactive molecules through UV crosslinking, enhancing their regenerative potential by promoting osteogenesis in human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs), angiogenesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and exerting anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages. Subcutaneous implantation in rats demonstrates that PNMs support cell infiltration, minimize fibrosis, and facilitate tissue integration, achieving complete cell penetration and tissue incorporation within 14 days. These findings establish PNMs as versatile, scalable, and customizable platforms, ideal for applications as injectable drugs or cell carriers, as well as powders, offering promising solutions for wound healing and tissue regeneration.
