Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising restorative strategy for bone regeneration, yet it remains challenging to develop an appropriate scaffold with optimal porous microstructure for bone repair. Unlike random fibrous scaffolds, the aligned nanofibrous structure could provide contact guidance for cell orientation and enhances mechanotransduction signaling. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aligned electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB) nanofibrous scaffold with lecithin on guided bone regeneration. In this study, aligned P34HB scaffold (PA group) and random P34HB scaffold (PR group) were fabricated via electrospinning with different speeds of rotating collector, respectively. And lecithin was coated on PA scaffolds (PA/L groups) by immersion method. The morphology, phase composition, and physical properties of these scaffolds were characterized. Meanwhile, cellular behaviors of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), including proliferation, adhesion, osteogenic differentiation, and related gene expression, were also investigated. Finally, a rat critical calvarial defect model was used to evaluate the biocompatibility and effect of these scaffolds on bone repair. The mean fiber diameters of PR and PA scaffolds were 893.0 ± 189.4 nm and 832.6 ± 193.1 nm, respectively. And Lecithin coating significantly reduced the water contact angle from 112.3° ± 3.5° (PA) to 48.6° ± 2.1° (PA/L) (P < 0.05). The in vitro results demonstrated that PA/L scaffolds showed the highest ALP activity at day 7 and mineralization at day 14. Gene expression analysis revealed that PA/L scaffolds significantly upregulated Alp and Col1a1 at early time points. Furthermore, the in vivo micro-CT analysis revealed that the PA/L group achieved the highest bone volume fraction of 38.7% ± 3.2% at 4 weeks post-implantation. All these results above indicated that aligned nanofibers of P34HB scaffolds in combination with the lecithin could exert a synergistic effect on promoting osteogenesis and regeneration of bone defects. This study represents the first successful combination of aligned P34HB electrospun fibers with soy lecithin coating. The PA/L scaffold could not only topographically guide cell growth but also significantly enhance hydrophilicity and osteogenic differentiation, which could offer a synergistic strategy for bone tissue regeneration. Thus, aligned P34HB scaffold with lecithin showed great application potential for bone tissue regeneration.
