Steady-State Behavior and Endothelialization of a Silk-Based Small-Caliber Scaffold In Vivo Transplantation.
Article in Polymers, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
A silk-based small-caliber tubular scaffold (SFTS), which is fabricated using a regenerated silk fibroin porous scaffold embedding a silk fabric core layer, has been proved to possess good cell compatibility and mechanical properties in vitro. In this study, the endothelialization ability and the steady-state blood flow of SFTSs were evaluated in vivo by implanting and replacing a common carotid artery in a rabbit. The results of the color doppler ultrasound and angiographies showed that the blood flow was circulated in the grafts without aneurysmal dilations or significant stenoses at any time point, and ran stronger and close to the autologous blood vessel from one month after implantation. The SFTSs presented an initial tridimensionality without being distorted or squashed. SEM and immunohistochemistry results showed that a clear and discontinuous endodermis appeared after one month of implantation; when implanted for three months, an endothelial layer fully covered the inner surface of SFTSs. RT-PCR results indicated that the gene expression level of CD31 in SFTSs was 45.8% and 75.3% by that of autologous blood vessels at 3 months and 12 months, respectively. The VEGF gene showed a high expression level that continued to increase after implantation.
