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

Background: Rapid regeneration and functional recovery of the enthesis following tendon-to-bone interface (TBI) injury remains a significant challenge. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of leveraging bFGF genetically modified bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to enhance tendon-to-bone interface regeneration. Methods: The proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation effects of BMSCs after bFGF treatment were firstly studies Results: Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the employment of bFGF-transfected BMSCs accelerated tendon-to-bone regeneration by regulation of immune responses and promotion of fibrocartilage formation, thereby improving its healing quality of TBI injury. These findings suggested a novel and promising strategy by transfecting the BMSCs with bFGF gene for the treatment of TBI injury.
