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

The study's aim was to develop a dermal equivalent scaffold that can mimic the architecture and biological performance of the human dermis. Poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) electrospun nanofiber material (ENF) was assembled with polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), sodium alginate (SA) and type I collagen (CG1) to develop three groups of dermal equivalent scaffolds. These scaffolds were named PEGDA-PCL, SA-PCL and CG1-PCL. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of cell-free scaffolds' top and cross-sectional surface were collected and analyzed to examine internal morphology, specifically the adhesiveness of PCL fibers with the different scaffolds. Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured on each of the scaffolds. Cell viability studies including cell adhesion, cell differentiation and stress fiber production were conducted on each scaffold. Furthermore, the architectural integrity of each scaffold was verified by degradation analysis for 2 weeks by soaking each scaffold in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution. Finally, we conducted rheological characteristics of each scaffold. Based on our results from the above analysis, the study concluded that CG1-PCL is best suitable for the dermal equivalent model and has potential to be used as a graft for skin repair.
