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
The increasing demand in rapid wound dressing and healing has promoted the development of intraoperative strategies, such as intraoperative bioprinting, which allows deposition of bioinks directly at the injury sites to conform to their specific shapes and structures. Although successes have been achieved to varying degrees, either the instrumentation remains complex and high-cost or the bioink is insufficient for desired cellular activities. Here, we report the development of a cost-effective, open-source handheld bioprinter featuring an ergonomic design, which was entirely portable powered by a battery pack. We further integrated an aqueous two-phase emulsion bioink based on gelatin methacryloyl with the handheld system, enabling convenient shape-controlled in situ bioprinting. The unique pore-forming property of the emulsion bioink facilitated liquid and oxygen transport as well as cellular proliferation and spreading, with an additional ability of good elasticity to withstand repeated mechanical compressions. These advantages of our pore-forming bioink-loaded handheld bioprinter are believed to pave a new avenue for effective wound dressing potentially in a personalized manner down the future.
