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

In this study, we have fabricated an artificial ureter by transplantation of in vitro-expanded urothelial cells onto an in vivo-prefabricated capsular stent using tissue engineering methods. Spiral poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) stents were transplanted into the subcutaneous of Wistar rats for a period of 1, 2 or 3 weeks to induce the formation of connective tissue capsules on their surfaces. The capsular PLLA stents were then decellularized and further recellularized with bladder epithelial cells to fabricate artificial ureters. The results showed that the entrapped cells in all capsules remained continuously proliferation and lined up in continuous layers. In addition, the urothelial cells on the capsular stents with an embedding period of 2 or 3 weeks showed higher proliferative viability compared with the cells on the stents with an embedding time of 1 week (P < 0.05). The results of the study indicated that the prefabricated capsular stents could serve as alternative cell carriers for tissue engineered ureters, especially with embedding time from 2 to 3 weeks.
