Electrospun Scaffold Micro-Architecture Induces an Activated Transcriptional Phenotype within Tendon Fibroblasts.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
Biomaterial augmentation of surgically repaired rotator cuff tendon tears aims to improve the high failure rates (∼40%) of traditional repairs. Biomaterials that can alter cellular phenotypes through the provision of microscale topographical cues are now under development. We aimed to systematically evaluate the effect of topographic architecture on the cellular phenotype of fibroblasts from healthy and diseased tendons. Electrospun polydioxanone scaffolds with fiber diameters ranging from 300 to 4000 nm, in either a highly aligned or random configuration, were produced. Healthy tendon fibroblasts cultured for 7 days on scaffolds with highly aligned fibers demonstrated a distinctive elongated morphology, whilst those cultured on randomly configured fibers demonstrated a flattened and spread morphology. The effect of scaffold micro-architecture on the transcriptome of both healthy and diseased tendon fibroblasts was assessed with bulk RNA-seq. Both healthy (
