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 extracellular matrix (ECM) is a heterogeneous mixture of proteoglycans and fibrous proteins that form the non-cellular component of tissues and organs. During normal development, homeostasis, and disease progression, the ECM provides dynamic structural and molecular signals that influence the form and function of individual cells and multicellular tissues. Here, we review recent developments in the design and fabrication of engineered ECMs and the application of these systems to study the morphogenesis of epithelial tissues. We emphasize emerging techniques for reproducing the structural and molecular complexity of native ECM, and we highlight how these techniques may be used to decouple the different signals that drive epithelial morphogenesis. Engineered models of native ECM will enable further investigation of the dynamic mechanisms by which the microenvironment influences tissue morphogenesis.
