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

Mesenchymal condensation is a pre-requisite of chondrogenesis during embryonic development. The current understanding of chondrogenesis is limited in terms of chondrogenic condensation mechanisms. In particular, the role of matrix stiffness on homotypic cell-cell interactions leading to the establishment of distinct aggregated chondrogenic morphology from mesenchymal cells is unclear. An in vitro biomaterials-based model to assess the interactions of matrix stiffness on chondrogensis is described herein, where by sensing subtle variation in morphology and stiffness of nanofibrous silk protein matrixes human mesenchymal stem cells migrated and assumed aggregated morphologies, mimicking early stage chondrogenesis. This simple in vitro model system has potential to play a significant role to gain insight into underlying mechanisms of mesenchymal condensation steps during chondrogenesis, integrating concepts of developmental biology, biomaterials and tissue engineering.
