Synthetic extracellular matrices with tailored adhesiveness and degradability support lumen formation during angiogenic sprouting.

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
A major deficit in tissue engineering strategies is the lack of materials that promote angiogenesis, wherein endothelial cells from the host vasculature invade the implanted matrix to form new blood vessels. To determine the material properties that regulate angiogenesis, we have developed a microfluidic in vitro model in which chemokine-guided endothelial cell sprouting into a tunable hydrogel is followed by the formation of perfusable lumens. We show that long, perfusable tubes only develop if hydrogel adhesiveness and degradability are fine-tuned to support the initial collective invasion of endothelial cells and, at the same time, allow for matrix remodeling to permit the opening of lumens. These studies provide a better understanding of how cell-matrix interactions regulate angiogenesis and, therefore, constitute an important step towards optimal design criteria for tissue-engineered materials that require vascularization.
