Multilayer thin film coatings capable of extended programmable drug release: application to human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation.
Article in Drug delivery and translational research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 promise of cellular therapy lies in healing damaged tissues and organs in vivo as well as generating tissue constructs in vitro for subsequent transplantation. Adult stem cells are ideally suited for cellular therapies due to their pulripotency and the ease with which they can be cultured on novel functionalized substrates. Creating environments to control and successively driving their differentiation toward a lineage of choice is one of the most important challenges of current cell-based engineering strategies. In recent years, a variety of biomedical platforms have been prepared for stem cell cultures, primarily to provide efficient delivery of growth or survival factors to cells and a conducive microenvironment for their growth. Here, we demonstrate that repeating tetralayer structures composed of biocompatible poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)/poly(acryl amide) (PAAm)/poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)/poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) micelles arrayed in layer-by-layer (LbL) films can serve as a payload region for dexamethasone (dex) delivery to human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This architecture can induce MSC differentiation into osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner. The amount of dex loaded in the films is controlled by varying the deposition conditions and the film thickness. Furthermore, release of dex is also controlled by changing the amount of covalent crosslinking of multilayers via thermal treatments. The multilayer architecture including payload and cell-adhesion region introduced here are well suited for extended cell culture thus affording the important and protective effect of both dex release and immobilization. These films may find applications in the local delivery of immobilized therapeutics for biomedical applications, as they can be deposited on a wide range of substrates with different shapes, sizes, and composition.
