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

Nerve guidance conduits with multifunctional features could offer microenvironments for improved nerve regeneration and functional recovery. However, the challenge remains to optimize multiple cues in nerve conduit systems due to the interplay of these factors during fabrication. Here, a modular assembly for the fabrication of nerve conduits is utilized to address the goal of incorporating multifunctional guidance cues for nerve regeneration. Silk-based hollow conduits with suitable size and mechanical properties, along with silk nanofiber fillers with tunable hierarchical anisotropic architectures and microporous structures, are developed and assembled into conduits. These conduits supported improves nerve regeneration in terms of cell proliferation (Schwann and PC12 cells) and growth factor secretion (BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in vitro, and the in vivo repair and functional recovery of rat sciatic nerve defects. Nerve regeneration using these new conduit designs is comparable to autografts, providing a path towards future clinical impact.
