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

Purpose: To develop a human platelet lysate (hPL)-based bioink that is transparent and also encompasses the regenerative properties of hPL to facilitate wound healing. Methods: The effect of different batches of hPLand fetal bovine serum (FBS) on corneal epithelial cell growth and scratch assay was first examined using Incucyte Zoom. Various combinations of human fibrinogen (concentration range from 0.2 to 5 mg/mL) and thrombin (concentration from 1 to 10 U/mL) were combined with hPL to generate nine types of potential bioink. Rheology, transparency, and cell compatibility of bioinks were assessed and compared. The final selected bioink was used in an ex vivo corneal model to examine its ability in re-epithelization. Results: No significant difference was detected in cell proliferation and wound healing tests between different hPL batches at the same concentration. Scratch assay data showed that hPL had significantly higher effect on wound healing than FBS. Comparing across the nine bioinks, bioink 5 consisting of 10% hPL, 2 mg/mL fibrinogen, and 5 U/mL thrombin demonstrated all required mechanical and cellular properties and was able to regenerate the full-thickness epithelium ex vivo Conclusions: The results showed that a transparent and adhesive bioink can be generated by combining hPL, fibrinogen, and thrombin together. The bioink can be directly applied to a human cornea to promote corneal re-epithelization with huge potential applications in corneal injuries. Translational Relevance: The developed transparent hPL-based ink with its adhesive and healing ability showed that it could be used as a new treatment option for corneal injuries.
