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

Introduction: During the healing process, the functional gradient attachment of the rotator cuff (RC) tendon-bone interface fails to regenerate, which severely impedes load transfer and stress dissipation, thereby increasing the risk of retears. As a result, the treatment of rotator cuff tears remains a significant clinical challenge. Methods: In this study, a dual-crosslinked hyaluronic acid/polyethylene glycol (HA/PEG) hydrogel scaffold was synthesized using hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol as base materials. Manganese-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Mn-MSN) were incorporated into the hydrogel system to fabricate a manganese-based mesoporous silica nanoparticle-loaded dual-crosslinked hydrogel (Mn-MSN@Gel). The physicochemical properties of Mn-MSN@Gel, including porosity, elemental distribution, mechanical properties, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, were systematically characterized. The ion release profiles of Si Results: Characterization demonstrated that Mn-MSN@Gel possesses a porous three-dimensional structure with uniform distribution of silicon, oxygen, and manganese elements, enabling sustained and slow release of Si Discussion: The self-healing and injectable properties of Mn-MSN@Gel ensure precise delivery and stable integration in vivo. By combining mechanical support with sustained release of bioactive ions, Mn-MSN@Gel provides a comprehensive therapeutic strategy for regenerative repair of the tendon-bone interface. Its biocompatibility and bioactivity facilitate cell recruitment, migration, and lineage-specific differentiation, which are crucial for reconstructing the functional gradient structure of the TBI. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects further contribute to a favorable healing microenvironment. Overall, these findings indicate that Mn-MSN@Gel is a foundational biomaterial with significant therapeutic potential for enhancing structural regeneration and functional recovery of the TBI following rotator cuff injury.
