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

Skeletal muscles represent 40% of body mass and its native regenerative capacity can be permanently lost after a traumatic injury, congenital diseases, or tumor ablation. The absence of physiological regeneration can hinder muscle repair preventing normal muscle tissue functions. To date, tissue engineering (TE) represents one promising option for treating muscle injuries and wasting. In particular, hydrogels derived from the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) are widely investigated in tissue engineering applications thanks to their essential role in guiding muscle regeneration. In this work, the myogenic potential of dECM substrate, obtained from decellularized bovine pericardium (Tissuegraft Srl), was evaluated in vitro using C2C12 murine muscle cells. To assess myotubes formation, the width, length, and fusion indexes were measured during the differentiation time course. Additionally, the ability of dECM to support myogenesis was assessed by measuring the expression of specific myogenic markers: α-smooth muscle actin (α-sma), myogenin, and myosin heavy chain (MHC). The results obtained suggest that the dECM niche was able to support and enhance the myogenic potential of C2C12 cells in comparison of those grown on a plastic standard surface. Thus, the use of extracellular matrix proteins, as biomaterial supports, could represent a promising therapeutic strategy for skeletal muscle tissue engineering.
