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

This work explored the use of chitosan (Cs) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends for the fabrication of electrospun fiber-orientated meshes potentially suitable for engineering fiber-reinforced soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, or meniscus. To mimic the fiber alignment present in native tissue, the CS/PEO blend solution was electrospun using a traditional static plate, a rotating drum collector, and a rotating disk collector to get, respectively, random, parallel, circumferential-oriented fibers. The effects of the different orientations (parallel or circumferential) and high-speed rotating collector influenced fiber morphology, leading to a reduction in nanofiber diameters and an improvement in mechanical properties.
