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

introductionDecellularized tissue exhibits cell matrix-like properties, along with reduced antigenicity. We explored the potential of decellularized allogeneic trachea to restore the upper respiratory tract, focusing on pediatric application. This study specifically aimed at long-term observation of tissue regeneration using a micro-miniature pig model.

methodsArtificial defects (15 × 15 mm) in the subglottis and trachea of micro-miniature pigs were repaired by transplantation of either allogeneic decellularized or fresh (control) tracheal patches. Pigs were evaluated

resultsNo airway symptom was observed in any pig during the observation period. Bronchoscopy revealed the tracheal lumen to be restored by fresh grafts, showing an irregular surface with remarkable longitudinal compression; these changes were mild after restoration with decellularized grafts. Histologically, while fresh graft patches were denatured and replaced by calcified tissue, decellularized patches remained unchanged throughout the observation period. There were regeneration foci of cartilage adjacent to the grafts, and some foci joined the decellularized graft uniformly, suggesting the induction of tracheal reconstitution.

conclusionAllogeneic decellularized tracheal tissue could serve as a promising biomaterial for tracheal restoration, especially for pediatric patients at the growing stage.
