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

BACKGROUND/

aimSilk is a natural biomaterial with several superior features for applications in regenerative medicine. In the present study an optimized process for manufacturing porous scaffolds out of the silk protein fibroin was developed. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe silk protein fibroin was dissolved in Ajisawa's reagent and the resulting fibroin solution was used to produce scaffolds by means of freeze-thawing cycling. Porosity, pressure and stab resistance as well as degradation behavior were assessed in order to characterize the physical properties of the resulting scaffolds.

resultsThe resulting sponge-like fibroin scaffolds were highly porous while the porosity correlated inversely with the concentration of the starting fibroin solution. Increased initial fibroin concentrations of the scaffolds resulted in increased compressive and cannulation resistance. The majority of the fibroin scaffolds were digested by 1 mg/ml protease XIV in 3 weeks, indicating their biodegradability.

conclusionThe production of scaffolds made of varying fibroin concentrations by means of freeze-thawing, following dissolution using Ajisawa's reagent, provides a simple and straightforward strategy for adjusting the physical and chemical properties of fibroin scaffolds for various medical applications.
