Tissue engineering of human ear pinna.
Review in Cell and tissue banking, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Auricular deformities (Microtia) can cause physical, social as well as psychological impacts on a patient's wellbeing. Biofabrication of a complex structure such as ear pinna is not precise with currently available techniques. These limitations can be overcome with the help of tissue engineering. In this article, the authors presented molding and three dimensional (3D) printing to generate a flexible, human size ear pinna. The decellularization of goat ear cartilage protocol and bioink alkaline digestion protocol was followed to yield complete removal of all cellular components without changing the properties of the Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM). Decellularized scaffold used in molding technology and 3D printing technology Computer-Aided Design /Stereolithography (CAD/STL) uses bioink to construct the patient-specific ear. In vivo biocompatibility of the both ear pinnae showed demonstrable recellularization. Histology and scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed the recellularization of cartilage-specific cells and the development of ECM in molded and 3D printed ear pinna after transplantation. Both the techniques provided ideal results for mechanical properties such as elasticity. Vascular Associated Protein expression revealed specific vasculogenic pattern (angiogenesis) in transplanted molded pinna. Chondrocyte specific progenitor cells express CD
