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

The present study evaluates the crosslinking of electrospun gelatin nanofibers by physical and chemical methods to further elucidate the importance of the application of gelatin scaffold platforms for cell-based assays. The dehydrothermally cross-linked electrospun gelatin scaffolds were unable to retained their structure morphology and integrity upon exposure to 1X PBS or cell-culture media. The DHT and EDC/Sulfo-NHS cross-linked gelatin scaffolds exhibited fiber diameter on average in the nanometer range. Subsequently, we utilized 1X PBS and cell culture media to evaluate the stability of the nanofibers in solution. The immersion evaluation indicated that the chemically crosslinked gelatin nanofibers maintained their random nanofiber distribution and morphology. However, a high degree of swelling was observed in the presence of cell culture media. Overall, the gelatin scaffold demonstrated good performance in PBS and cell culture media. Hence, EDC/Sulfo-NHS crosslinked electrospun gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds have good biocompatibility and are promising bio-scaffolds for cell-based assays.
