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

backgroundFunctional and rapid enthesis regeneration remains a challenge after arthroscopic rotator cuff (RC) repair. Tissue-engineering a large-size biomimetic scaffold may be an adjuvant strategy to improve this clinical dilemma. Herein, we developed an optimized protocol to decellularize large-size enthesis as scaffolds for augmenting RC tear.

methodsA novel vacuum aspiration system (VAS) was set up, which can provide a negative pressure to suck out cellular substances from tissue blocks without using chemical detergents. Large-size enthesis tissue specimens were harvested from canine infraspinatus tendon (IT) insertion, and then decellularized with an optimized protocol [freeze-thaw processing followed by nuclease digestion and phosphate buffer saline (PBS) rinsing in the custom-designed VAS], or a conventional protocol (freeze-thaw processing followed by nuclease digestion and PBS rinsing), thus fabricating two kinds of acellular enthesis matrix (AEM), namely C-AEM and O-AEM. After that, the C-AEM and O-AEM were comparatively evaluated from the aspect of their physicochemical and biological properties.

resultsPhysiochemically, the O-AEM preserved the morphologies, ingredients, and tensile properties much better than the C-AEM. Biologically,

conclusionsThe proposed VAS may help us fabricate large-size AEM with good physicochemical and biological properties, and this AEM may have potential clinical applications in patching large/massive RC tear.
