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

Tissue engineering scaffolds with nanofibrous structures provide positive support for cell proliferation and differentiation in biomedical fields. These scaffolds are widely used for defective tissue repair and drug delivery. However, the degradation performance and mechanical properties of scaffolds are often unsatisfactory. Here, we successfully prepared a novel poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-4-hydroxybutyrate)/polypyrrole (P34HB-PPy) core-shell nanofiber structure scaffold with electrospinning and in situ surface polymerization technology. The obtained composite scaffold showed good mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, and thermal stability based on the universal material testing machine, contact angle measuring system, thermogravimetric analyzer, and other methods. The results of the in vitro bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) culture showed that the P34HB-PPy composite scaffold effectively mimicked the extracellular matrix (ECM) and exhibited good cell retention and proliferative capacity. More importantly, P34HB is a controllable degradable polyester material, and its degradation product 3-hydroxybutyric acid (3-HB) is an energy metabolite that can promote cell growth and proliferation. These results strongly support the application potential of P34HB-PPy composite scaffolds in biomedical fields, such as tissue engineering and soft tissue repair.
