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

Fat grafting is an established clinical intervention to promote tissue repair. The role of the fat's extracellular matrix (ECM) in regeneration is largely neglected. We investigated in vitro the use of human adipose tissue-derived ECM hydrogels as release platform for factors secreted by adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs). Lipoaspirates from nondiabetic and diabetic donors were decellularized. Finely powdered acellular ECM was evaluated for cell remainders and DNA content. Acellular ECM was digested, and hydrogels were formed at 37°C and their viscoelastic relaxation properties investigated. Release of ASC-released factors from hydrogels was immune assessed, and bio-activity was determined by fibroblast proliferation and migration and endothelial angiogenesis. Acellular ECM contained no detectable cell remainders and negligible DNA contents. Viscoelastic relaxation measurements yielded no data for diabetic-derived hydrogels due to gel instability. Hydrogels released several ASC-released factors concurrently in a sustained fashion. Functionally, released factors stimulated fibroblast proliferation and migration as well as angiogenesis. No difference between nondiabetic and diabetic hydrogels in release of factors was measured. Adipose ECM hydrogels incubated with released factors by ASC are a promising new therapeutic modality to promote several important wound healing-related processes by releasing factors in a controlled way.
