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

Over the past years, the fabrication of adequate vascular networks has remained the main challenge in engineering tissues due to technical difficulties, while the ultimate objective of tissue engineering is to create fully functional and sustainable organs and tissues to transplant in the human body. There have been a number of studies performed to overcome this limitation, and as a result, 3D printing has become an emerging technique to serve in a variety of applications in constructing vascular networks within tissues and organs. 3D printing incorporated technical approaches allow researchers to fabricate complex and systematic architecture of vascular networks and offer various selections for fabrication materials and printing techniques. In this review, we will discuss materials and strategies for 3D printed vascular networks as well as specific applications for certain vascularized tissue and organ regeneration. We will also address the current limitations of vascular tissue engineering and make suggestions for future directions research may take.
