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

The formation of an effective vascular network can promote peripheral angiogenesis, ensuring an effective supply of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to an engineered bladder, which is important for bladder tissue engineering. Stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) promote vascularization and improve the function of injured tissues. In this study, adipose tissue-derived SVFs were introduced as an angiogenic cell source and seeded into the bladder acellular matrix (BAM) to generate a SVF-BAM complex for bladder reconstruction. The morphological regeneration and functional restoration of the engineered bladder were evaluated. In addition, we also explored the role of the Wnt5a/sFlt-1 noncanonical Wnt signaling pathway in regulating the angiogenesis of SVFs, and in maintaining the rational capability of SVFs to differentiate into vasculature in regenerated tissues. Histological assessment indicated that the SVF-BAM complex was more effective in promoting smooth muscle, vascular, and nerve regeneration than BAM alone and subsequently led to the restoration of bladder volume and bladder compliance. Moreover, exogenous Wnt5a was able to enhance angiogenesis by increasing the activity of MMP2, MMP9, and VEGFR2. Simultaneously, the expression of sFlt-1 was also increased, which enhanced the stability of the SVFs angiogenic capability. SVFs may be a potential cell source for tissue-engineered bladders. The Wnt5a/sFlt-1 pathway is involved in the regulation of autologous vascular formation by SVFs. The rational regulation of this pathway can promote neo-microvascularization in tissue-engineered bladders.
