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

Although the importance of fluid flow for proper vascular development and function in vivo is well recognized, microvascular formation in response to flow has not been well evaluated in a three-dimensional (3D) environment in vitro. In this study, we developed a novel 3D in vitro perfusion system that allows direct investigation of the effects of shear stress on the development of microvasculature in vitro. This system utilizes a 3D collagen gel for suspension of vascular cells and mesenchymal stem cells, through which flow is directly perfused. We characterized the flow conditions and demonstrate the impact of flow on the development of microvasculature using a coculture of endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells. With the unique ability to apply bulk flow through the collagen gels, and to estimate shear stress within the constructs, this perfusion system provides a flexible platform for developing a controllable biomimetic environment that can be adapted for a variety of investigations of microvascularization.
