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

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common sports injuries that typically require surgical intervention. Autografts and allografts are used to replace damaged ligaments. The drawbacks of autografts and allografts, which include donor site morbidity and variability in quality, have spurred research in the development of bioengineered ligaments. Herein, the design and development of a cost-effective bench-top 3D braiding machine that fabricates scalable and tunable bioengineered ligaments is described. It was demonstrated that braiding angle and picks per inch can be controlled with the bench-top braiding machine. Pore sizes within the reported range needed for vascularization and bone regeneration are demonstrated. By considering a one-to-one linear relationship between cross-sectional area and peak load, the bench-top braiding machine can theoretically fabricate bioengineered ligaments with a peak load that is 9× greater than the human ACL. This bench-top braiding machine is generalizable to all types of yarns and may be used for regenerative engineering applications.
