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

3D bioprinting strategies in tissue engineering aim to fabricate clinically applicable tissue constructs that can replace the damaged or diseased tissues and organs. One of the main prerequisites in 3D bioprinting is finding an appropriate bioink that provides a tissue-specific microenvironment supporting the cellular growth and maturation. In this respect, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-derived hydrogels have been considered as bioinks for the cell-based bioprinting due to their capability to inherit the intrinsic cues from native ECM. Herein, a photo-crosslinkable kidney ECM-derived bioink (KdECMMA) is developed that could provide a kidney-specific microenvironment for renal tissue bioprinting. Porcine whole kidneys are decellularized through a perfusion method, dissolved in an acid solution, and chemically modified by methacrylation. A KdECMMA-based bioink is formulated and evaluated for rheological properties and printability for the printing process. The results show that the bioprinted human kidney cells in the KdECMMA bioink are highly viable and mature with time. Moreover, the bioprinted renal constructs exhibit the structural and functional characteristics of the native renal tissue. The potential of the tissue-specific ECM-derived bioink is demonstrated for cell-based bioprinting that could enhance the cellular maturation and eventually tissue formation.
