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

Elastomers are popular in vascular engineering applications, as they offer the ability to design implants that match the compliance of native tissue. By mimicking the natural tissue environment, elastic materials are able to integrate within the body to promote repair and avoid the adverse physiological responses seen in rigid alternatives that often disrupt tissue function. The design of elastomers has continued to evolve, moving from a focus on long term implants to temporary resorbable implants that support tissue regeneration. This has been achieved through designing chemistries and processing methodologies that control material behavior and bioactivity, while maintaining biocompatibility in vivo. Here we review the latest developments in synthetic and natural elastomers and their application in cardiovascular treatments.
