3D Bioprinted BioMask for Facial Skin Reconstruction.
Article in Bioprinting (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
Skin injury to the face remains one of the greatest challenges in wound care due to the varied contours and complex movement of the face. Current treatment strategies for extensive facial burns are limited to the use of autografts, allografts, and skin substitutes, and these often result in scarring, infection, and graft failure. Development of an effective treatment modality will greatly improve the quality of life and social integration of the affected individuals. In this proof of concept study, we developed a novel strategy, called "BioMask", which is a customized bioengineered skin substitute combined with a wound dressing layer that snugly fits onto the facial wounds. To achieve this goal, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting principle was used to fabricate the BioMask that could be customized by patients' clinical images such as computed tomography (CT) data. Based on a face CT image, a wound dressing material and cell-laden hydrogels were precisely dispensed and placed in a layer-by-layer fashion by the control of air pressure and 3-axis stage. The resulted miniature BioMask consisted of three layers; a porous polyurethane (PU) layer, a keratinocyte-laden hydrogel layer, and a fibroblast-laden hydrogel layer. To validate this novel concept, the bioprinted BioMask was applied to a skin wound on a pre-fabricated face-shaped structure in mice. Through this
