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

Conductive nerve scaffolds have emerged as a promising alternative to autologous grafts for promoting nerve regeneration. However, optimizing the electroactive properties of scaffold materials and elucidating their regulatory mechanisms on neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation remain critical challenges. Magnetic graphene oxide (MGO), an innovative nanomaterial integrating magnetic responsiveness with two-dimensional carbon-based conductivity, exhibits potential for modulating neural regeneration. Nevertheless, its application in guiding NSC fate within nanofibrous scaffolds is still limited. In this study, a multifunctional MGO-gelatin-polycaprolactone (PCL) composite nanofibrous scaffold-termed the MGO Functionalized Nanofibrous Neural Scaffold-was developed via electrospinning technology, functionalized with superparamagnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and graphene oxide nanosheets. This design enhanced the scaffold's mechanical properties, electroactivity, biocompatibility, and structural stability. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the MGO Nanofibrous Scaffold not only supported NSC adhesion and proliferation but also significantly promoted differentiation toward excitatory neuronal phenotypes, suppressed excessive astrocyte activation, and maintained synaptic plasticity and functional maturity. RNA-Seq analysis revealed that the scaffold was associated with the enrichment of key neurogenesis-related pathways, including neurotrophic factor and Wnt-related pathways, which correlated with directed neuronal differentiation and functional maturation of NSCs. Further validation using dorsal root ganglion (DRG) models confirmed its efficacy in accelerating axonal regeneration. Collectively, the MGO Nanofibrous Neural Scaffold constructs an optimized electrophysiological microenvironment conducive to neuronal commitment and nerve fiber regeneration. These findings underscore its significant potential in regulating NSC differentiation and neuronal growth, highlighting the value of multifunctional graphene-based composites in neural tissue engineering.
