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

purpose of review3D bioprinting technologies hold significant promise for the generation of engineered cardiac tissue and translational applications in medicine. To generate a clinically relevant sized tissue, the provisioning of a perfusable vascular network that provides nutrients to cells in the tissue is a major challenge. This review summarizes the recent vascularization strategies for engineering 3D cardiac tissues. RECENT

findingsConsiderable steps towards the generation of macroscopic sizes for engineered cardiac tissue with efficient vascular networks have been made within the past few years. Achieving a compact tissue with enough cardiomyocytes to provide functionality remains a challenging task. Achieving perfusion in engineered constructs with media that contain oxygen and nutrients at a clinically relevant tissue sizes remains the next frontier in tissue engineering. The provisioning of a functional vasculature is necessary for maintaining a high cell viability and functionality in engineered cardiac tissues. Several recent studies have shown the ability to generate tissues up to a centimeter scale with a perfusable vascular network. Future challenges include improving cell density and tissue size. This requires the close collaboration of a multidisciplinary teams of investigators to overcome complex challenges in order to achieve success.
