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

Poly(1,8-octanediol citrate) (POC) is a recently developed biodegradable crosslinked elastomer that possesses good cytocompatibility and matchable mechanical properties to soft tissues. However, the thermosetting characteristic reveals a big challenge to manufacture its porous scaffold. Herein, POC elastomer was electrospun into fiber mat using poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) as a spinnable carrier. The obtained POC/PLLA fiber mats were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), uniaxial tensile test, static-water-contact-angle, thermal analysis, in vitro degradation and biocompatibility test. It was found that the fibrous structure could be formed so long as the POC pre-polymer's content was no more than 50 wt%. The presence of elastic POC component not only strengthened the fiber mats but also toughened the fiber mats. The hydrophilicity of 50/50 fiber mat significantly improved. In vitro degradation rate of POC based fiber mats was much faster than that of pure PLLA. Cyto- and histo-compatibility tests confirmed that the POC/PLLA fiber mats had good biocompatibility for potential applications in soft tissue engineering.
