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

The interplay between scaffold geometry and mechanical cues is critical in regulating osteogenesis within engineered bone microenvironments. To better mimic native bone physiology and improve regeneration strategies, it is essential to integrate precise topological control with physiologically relevant flow. Here, a bone-on-a-chip (BoC) system coupled with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS)-based 3D scaffolds is presented to investigate how geometric parameters-pore shape and solidity-govern osteogenic responses under dynamic perfusion. Using Gyroid and Schwarz diamond TPMS architectures, scaffolds with controlled pore geometries are created to modulate wall shear stress (WSS). Under flow conditions in the BoC system, pre-osteoblasts exhibit geometry-dependent behaviors in terms of infiltration, alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition, and collagen formation. Scaffolds with intermediate solidity and curvature optimize WSS distribution and significantly enhance osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, a critical pore size threshold is identified beyond which flow-mediated signaling is attenuated, highlighting the importance of geometric precision. The results demonstrate the synergistic role of scaffold topology and interstitial flow in directing osteogenesis. This integrated platform provides a versatile tool for studying bone mechanobiology and offers a promising strategy for designing biomimetic scaffolds in regenerative medicine and bone tissue engineering.
