Multi-omics-informed hydrogel design: modulating IL-6 to reduce endoplasmic reticulum stress in bone regeneration.
Article in Bioactive materials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Post-traumatic bone healing exhibits significant heterogeneity, especially in different injury sites. Notably, bone healing progresses more rapidly in alveolar bone defects compared to the slower repair process observed in femoral bone. Given this physiological phenomenon, understanding site-specific differences is crucial for designing functional biomaterials to enhance bone regeneration. This study, via multi-omics analysis, identified the pivotal role of high interleukin-6 (IL-6) expressing alternatively activated (M2) macrophages in early alveolar bone healing. It was found that IL-6 level in M2 macrophages could modulate heat shock protein family A member 5, alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and preventing apoptosis, thereby promoting bone regeneration. Based on these findings, a gelatin-based porous hydrogel optimized for localized IL-6 delivery was further developed to accelerate bone healing in femoral defects. The results demonstrated that this hydrogel significantly enhanced femoral bone regeneration by modulating ERS and hematoma responses. These findings offer promising strategies for enhancing bone regeneration.
