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

backgroundMidfacial hypoplasia is a common craniofacial deformity. Trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO), which applies mechanical force to stimulate bone formation at the zygomaticomaxillary sutures (ZMS), has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy. However, the underlying mechanisms of TSDO-induced osteogenesis remain unclear, resulting in prolonged treatment durations and limited clinical application.

methodsA TSDO model was established in 4-week-old C57BL/6 mice and neutrophil-depleted mice to investigate the role of neutrophils in bone regeneration at the ZMS. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to characterize neutrophil dynamics and heterogeneity during TSDO, and intercellular signaling pathways were identified through CellChat analysis. Additionally, in vitro stretching experiments using differentiated HL-60 cells were performed to assess the mechanosensitive behavior of neutrophils.

resultsIn the TSDO model, mechanical distraction significantly increased neutrophil infiltration in the ZMS and surrounding bone marrow. Neutrophil depletion impaired distraction-induced bone formation. Single-cell sequencing revealed that the Jun

conclusionsThis study identifies a mechanical force-neutrophil-bone regeneration axis in TSDO, highlighting the critical role of Jun-Neu-derived OSM in promoting osteogenesis. These findings provide theoretical insights for optimizing TSDO-based clinical strategies.
