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

Hydrogels that solidify in response to a dual, physical and chemical, mechanism upon temperature increase were fabricated and characterized. The hydrogels were based on N-isopropylacrylamide, which renders them thermoresponsive, and contained covalently cross-linkable moieties in the macromers. The effects of the macromer end group, acrylate or methacrylate, and the fabrication conditions on the degradative and swelling properties of the hydrogels were investigated. The hydrogels exhibited higher swelling below their lower critical solution temperature (LCST). When immersed in cell culture medium at physiological temperature, which was above their LCST, hydrogels showed constant swelling and no degradation over 8 weeks, with the methacrylated hydrogels showing greater swelling than their acrylated analogs. In addition, hydrogels immersed in cell culture medium under the same conditions showed lower swelling compared with phosphate-buffered saline. The interplay between chemical cross-linking and thermally induced phase separation affected the swelling characteristics of the hydrogels in different media. Mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated in the hydrogels in vitro were viable over 3 weeks and markers of osteogenic differentiation were detected when the cells were cultured with osteogenic supplements. Hydrogel mineralization in the absence of cells was observed in cell culture medium with the addition of fetal bovine serum and β-glycerol phosphate. The results suggest that these hydrogels may be suitable as carriers for cell delivery in tissue engineering.
