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

Recent work demonstrated that 3D fibrin scaffolds function as an effective substrate for engineering tissues from pluripotent stem cells. However, the rapid degradation rate of fibrin remains a major limitation when differentiating human pluripotent stem cells for tissue engineering applications. The addition of crosslinking agents, such as genipin, during the polymerization process increases scaffold stability while decreasing the degradation rate of fibrin. Genipin crosslinking alters the physical characteristics of the fibrin scaffolds, which influences the behaviour of the differentiating cells seeded inside. It also possesses neuritogenic and neuroprotective properties, making it particularly attractive for engineering neural tissue from pluripotent stem cells. Here we show that genipin enhances neuronal differentiation of neural progenitors derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in 2D culture and genipin concentration influences the morphological and mechanical properties of 3D fibrin scaffolds. These mechanically stable genipin-crosslinked fibrin scaffolds support hiPSC-derived neural aggregates and induce neurite outgrowth while remaining intact for 2 weeks as opposed to 5 days for unmodified fibrin scaffolds.
