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

Electrospun fibrous scaffolds capable of providing dual growth factor delivery in a controlled manner have distinctive advantages for tissue engineering. In this study, we have investigated the formation, structure, and characteristics/properties of fibrous bicomponent scaffolds for the dual delivery of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) for peripheral nerve tissue regeneration. GDNF and NGF were incorporated into core-shell structured poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly (D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) nanofibers, respectively, through emulsion electrospinning. Using dual-source dual-power electrospinning, bicomponent scaffolds composed of GDNF/PLGA fibers and NGF/PDLLA fibers with different fiber component ratios were produced. The structure, properties, and in vitro release behavior of mono- and bicomponent scaffolds were systematically investigated. Concurrent and sustained release of GDNF and NGF from bicomponent scaffolds was achieved and their release profiles could be tuned. In vitro biological investigations were conducted. Rat pheochromocytoma cells were found to attach, spread, and proliferate on all scaffolds. The release of growth factors from scaffolds could induce much improved neurite outgrowth and neural differentiation. GDNF and NGF released from GDNF/PLGA scaffolds and NGF/PDLLA scaffolds, respectively, could induce dose-dependent neural differentiation separately. GDNF and NGF released from bicomponent scaffolds exerted a synergistic effect on promoting neural differentiation.
