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

Host immune response to bone biomaterials plays a crucial role in influencing the outcome of bone regeneration. In this research, electrospun membranes composed of poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) with different configurations (aligned and random) and sizes (nanoscale and microscale) were created, and the molecular mechanisms through which PLLA electrospun membranes facilitate bone regeneration were investigated. Firstly, when various material groups were inserted into the rat skull defect model, the bone defect repair was most obvious in the aligned 600 nm group compared with other groups. Then, single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on the bone tissues of the aligned 600 nm group to analyze the characteristics of the immune microenvironment, and the results showed that the effect of PLLA electrospinning membrane on bone regeneration was closely related to the transformation of macrophage subtypes. Finally, the co-culture of macrophages and bone mesenchymal stem cells identified that the molecular pathway involving "PLLA electrospun membrane-M2 macrophage polarization-osteogenic differentiation" could serve as a potential mechanism for bone regeneration. Collectively, the PLLA electrospun membrane with specific morphology promotes bone regeneration by macrophage reprogramming. These findings offer significant insights for the advancement of biomimetic materials aimed at tissue regeneration from the viewpoint of osteo-immunomodulation.
