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

Bioelectricity plays an important role in cell behavior and tissue modulation, but is understudied in tissue engineering research. Endogenous electrical signaling arises from the transmembrane potential inherent to all cells and contributes to many cell behaviors, including migration, adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Electrical signals are also involved in tissue development and repair. Synthetic and natural conductive materials are under investigation for leveraging endogenous electrical signaling cues in tissue engineering applications due to their ability to direct cell differentiation, aid in maturing electroactive cell types, and promote tissue functionality. In this review, we provide a brief overview of bioelectricity and its impact on cell behavior, report recent literature using conductive materials for tissue engineering, and discuss opportunities within the field to improve experimental design when using conductive substrates.
