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

Polymer blending is a suitable physical modification method to create novel properties of different polymers. Blending polylactic acid (PLA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) produces materials with a wide range of properties. This study was the first to investigate the effect of different isomeric forms of PLA and PEG with terminal amino groups to obtain biocompatible films for human mesenchymal stem cell cultivation. It has been shown by scanning electron microscopy that the surface topology changes to the greatest extent when using films obtained on the basis of poly(d,l-lactide) and PEG with high molecular weights (15,000 g/mol). In order to obtain thin films and rapid evaporation of the solvent, PEG is mixed with PLA and does not form a separate phase and is not further washed out during the incubation in water. The presence of PEG with terminal hydroxyl and amino groups in blend films after incubation in water was proven using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Results of fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that blend films formed on PLA and polyethylene glycol diamine (PEG-NH2) are more suitable for cell spreading and focal contact formation compared to cells cultured on the surface of pure PLA films or films made from PLA and PEG.
