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

With its remarkable adaptability, energy efficiency, and mechanical compliance, skeletal muscle is a powerful source of inspiration for innovations in engineering and robotics. Originally driven by the clinical need to address large irreparable muscle defects, skeletal muscle tissue engineering (SMTE) has evolved into a versatile strategy reaching beyond medical applications into the field of biorobotics. This review highlights recent advancements in SMTE, including innovations in scaffold design, cell sourcing, usage of external physicochemical cues, and bioreactor technologies. Furthermore, this article explores the emerging synergies between SMTE and robotics, focusing on the use of robotic systems to enhance bioreactor performance and the development of biohybrid devices integrating engineered muscle tissue. These interdisciplinary approaches aim to improve functional recovery outcomes while inspiring novel biohybrid technologies at the intersection of engineering and regenerative medicine.
