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
Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels, produced by tissue decellularization are natural injectable materials suitable for neural tissue repair. However, the rapid biodegradation of these materials may disrupt neural tissue reconstruction in vivo. The aim of this study was to improve the stability of the previously described ECM hydrogel derived from human umbilical cord using genipin and N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), crosslinking at concentration of 0.5-10 mM. The hydrogels, crosslinked by genipin (ECM/G) or EDC (ECM/D), were evaluated in vitro in terms of their mechanical properties, degradation stability and biocompatibility. ECM/G, unlike ECM/D, crosslinked hydrogels revealed improved rheological properties when compared to uncrosslinked ECM. Both ECM/G and ECM/D slowed down the gelation time and increased the resistance against in vitro enzymatic degradation, while genipin crosslinking was more effective than EDC. Crosslinkers concentration of 1 mM enhanced the in vitro bio-stability of both ECM/G and ECM/D without affecting mesenchymal stem cell proliferation, axonal sprouting or neural stem cell growth and differentiation. Moreover, when injected into cortical photochemical lesion, genipin allowed in situ gelation and improved the retention of ECM for up to 2 weeks without any adverse tissue response or enhanced inflammatory reaction. In summary, we demonstrated that genipin, rather than EDC, improved the bio-stability of injectable ECM hydrogel in biocompatible concentration, and that ECM/G has potential as a scaffold for neural tissue application.
