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

Chemically modified RNA (cmRNA) is emerging as a more effective alternative to protein delivery and DNA-based gene therapy. To implement this technology for bone regeneration, a suitable biomaterial functioning as scaffold and delivery system is necessary. This study introduces a 3D printable granular hydrogel consisting of hyaluronic acid and collagen (THA-Col) for the delivery of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 cmRNA as activated matrix to promote bone healing. Granular hydrogels are produced by mechanically fragmenting bulk THA-Col gels. Resulting microgels are 3D printable and are further investigated in comparison to bulk THA-Col gels for BMP-7 cmRNA transfection efficiency, cytotoxicity, and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Microgels showed higher cell viability than bulk gels, while both bulk and microgels could support transfection with BMP-7. During in vitro osteogenic differentiation, hMSCs on microgels showed higher production of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared to bulk gels. The combination of microgels loaded with BMP-7 cmRNA introduced in this work holds significant potential toward the development of patient-specific bone graft substitutes to replace autologous bone grafting and protein delivery.
