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

backgroundTo evaluate synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (SR-FTIR) as a tool for quantitative mapping of the content and distribution of the extracellular matrix in decellularized fibrocartilage bioscaffolds, and to provide a new platform for quantitatively characterizing bioscaffolds for tissue engineering.

methodsFibrocartilage was harvested and cut into book-shape bioscaffolds (N = 54), which were then decellularized. The structures and distribution of collagen fibrous and intrinsic ultrastructure in decellularized fibrocartilage bioscaffolds were evaluated by histological staining and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The content of collagen and proteoglycan in the cellularized or decellularized bioscaffolds were also measured by SR-FTIR and biochemical assay.

resultsBook-shape fibrocartilage decellularized bioscaffolds were successfully obtained. Histological examination revealed that the structure of extracellular matrix endured during decellularization. Histology and DNA quantification analysis confirmed substantial removal of cells during decellularization. SEM demonstrated that intrinsic ultrastructure of the fibrocartilage bioscaffold was also well preserved. SR-FTIR quantitative analysis confirmed that decellularization had a significant effect on the content and distribution of collagen and proteoglycan in fibrocartilage bioscaffolds, these results are confirmed with the biochemical assay results.

conclusionSR-FTIR imaging can capture the histological morphology of decellularized bioscaffolds. Moreover, it can be used for quantitative mapping of the content and distribution of collagen in the bioscaffolds.
