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

Photo-reactive poly(vinyl alcohol) (PRPVA) was synthesized by introduction of phenyl azido groups into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and applied for surface modification. PRPVA was grafted onto cell culture plate surface homogeneously or in a micropattern. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured on cell culture plate surface and PVA-modified surface showed different behaviors. Cells adhered and spread well on cell culture plate surface, while they did not adhere on PVA-grafted surface at all. When hMSCs were cultured on PVA-micropatterned surface, they formed a cell micropattern. Cells formed pellets after cultured on PVA homogeneously modified surface in chondrogenic induction medium for 2 weeks. The pellets were positively stained by hematoxylin/eosin, safranin-O/fast green and toluidin blue, and they were also stained brown by Type II collagen and proteoglycan immunohistological staining. Real-time PCR analysis was conducted to investigate the expression of colI, colII, colX, aggrecan and sox9 mRNA. Results of gene expression were in agreement with those of histological and immunohistological observations. These results indicated that hMSCs cultured on PVA-modified surface performed chondrogenic differentiation, and it was possible to construct scaffold-free cartilage like pellets with PVA-modified surface
