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

objectivesUrethral tissue reconstruction for hypospadias is challenging for urologists. In this study, bovine acellular dermal matrix (ADM) patch loading with collagen-binding vascular endothelial growth factor (CBD-VEGF) was used to repair the urethral injury in beagles.

methodsThe safety and effectiveness of the scaffold implantation were carefully evaluated by comparing among the urethral injury control group, ADM implantation group, and ADM modified with CBD-VEGF implantation group during 6 months. Urodynamic examination, urethral angiography, and pathological examination were performed to evaluate the recovery of urethral tissue.

resultsStricture, urethral diverticulum, and increased urethral closure pressure were observed in the control group. Fistula was observed in one animal in the ADM group. By contrast, no related complications or other adverse situations were observed in animals treated with ADM patch modified with CBD-VEGF. The average urethra diameter was significantly smaller in the control animals than in scaffold implantation groups. Pathological examination revealed more distribution of proliferative blood vessels in the animals treated with ADM modified with CBD-VEGF.

conclusionsOverall, ADM patches modified with CBD-VEGF demonstrated an optimized tissue repair performance in a way to increase tissue angiogenesis and maintain urethral function without inducing severe inflammation and scar formation.
