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

This paper describes printing of microscale fibroblast-laden matrices using an aqueous two-phase approach that controls thrombin-mediated enzymatic crosslinking of fibrin. Optimization of aqueous two-phase formulations enabled polymerization of consistent sub-microliter volumes of cell-laden fibrin. When plasminogen was added to these micro-scaffolds, the primary normal human lung fibroblasts converted it to plasmin, triggering gradual degradation of the fibrin. Time-lapse live-cell imaging and automated image analysis provided readouts of time to degradation of 50% of the scaffold as well as maximum degradation rate. The time required for degradation decreased linearly with cell number while it increased in a dose-dependent manner upon addition of TGF-
