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

Timely tissue vascularization and integration of engineered tissues into a patient plays an important role in the successful translation of engineered tissues into clinically relevant therapies. To decrease the time needed to vascularize an engineered adipose tissue, suitable local microenvironments provided by hydrogels to support cell-based functional vascular network formation have been investigated. Using the same biomolecule in solution, two types of hydrogels can be obtained: a "physical hydrogel" which is thermal-induced self-assemble fibril initiation and growth, due to amino and carboxyl telopeptides on collagen chains, and a "chemical hydrogel" which results from the covalently cross-linking of the side chains induced by one step enzyme mediation in aqueous solution. In this paper, we compare the capability of engineering vascular network and large-sized vascularized adipose tissue in vivo in different types of collagen hydrogels, physical and chemical crosslinking. The relationships between vascular network formation and hydrogel properties for the two types of hydrogels are discussed. Finally, we successfully engineered a vascularized adipose tissue construct (∼877.6 adipocytes/mm
