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

Biomaterial research and tissue engineering are rapidly growing scientific fields that need an interdisciplinary approach where clinicians should be included from the onset. Biocompatibility testing in vitro and in vivo comprise the agarose-overlay test, the MTT test, direct cell seeding tests and the chorioallantoic membrane test for angiogenic effects, among others. Molecular biology techniques such as real-time polymerase chain reaction and microarray technology facilitate the investigation of tissue integration into biomaterials on a cellular and molecular level. The physicochemical characterization of biomaterials is conducted using such methods as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Excellent biocompatibility and biofunctionality were demonstrated for a series of recently developed multifunctional biodegradable, polymeric biomaterials both in vitro and in vivo. Novel, multifunctional polymeric biomaterials offer a highly specific adjustment to the physiological, anatomical and surgical requirements and can thereby facilitate new therapeutic options in head and neck surgery.
