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

Osteogenesis is a crucial process in bone injury repair where osteoblasts mineralize collagen to form new bone at the fracture site. For effective bone regeneration in comminuted fractures, it is essential to develop an osteogenic bone adhesive that can be applied at the time of fixation to temporarily immobilize fragmented bone pieces. We present a flowable, injectable adhesive that enables on-demand bonding of irregular fracture surfaces and, after photocuring, provides enhanced mechanical integrity while supporting osteogenesis. To meet these clinical requirements, we engineered a gelatin methacryloyl-polyethylene glycol diacrylate (GelMA-PEGDA) network bone adhesive that undergoes rapid photocuring to enable on-demand bonding and immediate mechanical stabilization at the fracture site. By incorporating nanoscale hydroxyapatite (nHA) to confer a bone-mineral-mimetic composition and biomineralization capacity, the photocured adhesive promotes bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell recruitment and supports skeletal regeneration. During degradation, the organic-inorganic phase of the adhesive can guide osteogenesis, leading to satisfactory healing outcomes in fractures. Overall, the compositional and mechanical biomimicry, photosensitivity and osteogenic potential of GelMA-nHA-PEGDA render it a potential all-in-one solution for minimally invasive treatment of multiple skeletal diseases.
