Optimizing strategies in tendon tissue engineering through effective scaffold design: overview of recent advancements.
Review in Regenerative medicine, 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
Tendon injuries pose a significant global health challenge due to the poor innate healing capacity of the tissue. Current clinical interventions report limited treatment efficacy, typically resulting in a fibrotic scar that is mechanically inferior to native tissue and predisposed to future re-rupture. Tendon tissue engineering, leveraging advances of biomimetic scaffolds, offers a promising path toward functional regeneration rather than fibrotic repair. The design of these biomimetic scaffolds is a complex, interdisciplinary challenge that has evolved from a simple structural replacement to a sophisticated, bio-instructive strategy. Literature searches were conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and R Discovery with the terms "tendon tissue engineering scaffold" or "tendon regenerative medicine scaffold," and studies published between 2020 and 2025 were included. In this review, we outline four key design principles identified to enhance tissue engineering solutions constructed for tendon: 1) Biomechanical compatibility, 2) Biocompatibility and Integration, 3) Porosity and Mass Transport, and 4) Mechanobiological Stimuli. Together, these core parameters mediate the production of hierarchical, bio-instructive scaffolds that integrate cellular components, growth factors, and mechanical stimulation to produce intelligent therapeutic systems for functional, long-lasting tendon regeneration.
