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

The aim of this study was to compare biological collagen I (ColI) and synthetic poly-(L: -lactide) (PLLA) nanofibers concerning their stability and ability to promote growth and osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Matrices were seeded with human stem cells and cultivated over a period of 28 days under growth and osteoinductive conditions and analyzed during the course. During this time the PLLA nanofibers remained stable while the presence of cells resulted in an attenuation of the ColI nanofiber mesh. Although there was a tendency for better growth and osteoprotegerin production of stem cells when cultured on collagen nanofibers, there was no significant difference compared to PLLA nanofibers or controls. The gene expression of alkaline phosphate, osteocalcin and collagen I diminished in the initial phase of cultivation independent of the polymer used. In the case of PLLA fibers, this gene expression normalized during the course of cultivation, whereas the presence of collagen nanofibers resulted in an increased gene expression of osteocalcin and collagen during the course of the experiment. Taken together the PLLA fibers were easier to produce, more stable and did not compromise growth and differentiation of stem cells over the course of experiment. On the other hand, collagen nanofibers supported the differentiation process to some extent. Nevertheless, the need for fixation as well as the missing stability during cell culture requires further work.
