Multilayered Fabrication Assembly Technique to Engineer a Corneal Stromal Equivalent.
Article in Bio-protocol, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 has emerged as a strategy to combat the donor shortage of human corneas for transplantation. Synthetic corneal substitutes are currently unable to support the normal phenotype of human cells and so decellularized animal corneas have been deployed to more closely provide the topographical and biochemical cues to promote cell attachment and function. Although full thickness decellularized corneas can support corneal cells, the cells are slow to populate the scaffold and density declines from the surface. To avoid these problems, this protocol describes the stacking of alternate layers of decellularized porcine corneal sheets and cell-laden collagen hydrogel to produce a corneal construct. The sheets are obtained by cryosectioning porcine corneas, decellularizing them with detergents and nucleases and finally air drying for storage and ease of manufacture. Corneal stromal cells are then encapsulated in a collagen type I solution and cast between these sheets. This protocol presents a rapid method to ensure high cellularity throughout the construct using tissue-derived materials alone.
