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

Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has enabled the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds that recapitulate the physical, architectural, and biochemical cues of native tissue matrix more effectively than ever before. One key component of biomimetic scaffold fabrication is the patterning of growth factors, whose spatial distribution and temporal release profile should ideally match that seen in native tissue development. Tissue engineers have made significant progress in improving the degree of spatiotemporal control over which growth factors are presented within 3DP scaffolds. However, significant limitations remain in terms in pattern resolution, the fabrication of true gradients, temporal control of growth factor release, the maintenance of growth factor distributions against diffusion, and more. This review summarizes several key areas for advancement of the field in terms of improving spatiotemporal control over growth factor presentation, and additionally highlights several major tissues of interest that have been targeted by 3DP growth factor patterning strategies.
