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 field of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is rapidly emerging as an additive manufacturing method for tissue and organ fabrication. The demand for tissues and organ transplants is ever increasing, although donors are not as readily available. Consequently, tissue engineering is gaining much attention to alleviate this problem. The process of achieving well-structured 3D bioprinted constructs using hydrogel bioinks depends on symmetrical precision, regulated flow rates, and viability of cells. Even with the mentioned parameters optimized, the printed structures need additional refining by removing excessive liquids, as peptide hydrogel bioprints encapsulate water. However, it is challenging to eliminate the confined fluids without compromising the printing process. In this paper, we introduced a vacuum system to our 3D bioprinting robotic arm and thus optimized the printing quality for complex and refined 3D scaffolds. Moreover, the proposed vacuum system supports printing with cells. Our results show improved printing resolution which facilitates the printing of higher and more stable structures.
