Extrusion-Based Bioprinted Boron Nitride Nanotubes Reinforced Alginate Scaffolds: Mechanical, Printability and Cell Viability Evaluation.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Alginate (Alg) hydrogels are commonly used as bioinks in 3D bioprinting. However, one of the significant drawbacks of using Alg hydrogels is their unstable mechanical properties. In this study, a novel hydrogel-based ink composed of Alg reinforced with functionalised boron nitride nanotubes (f-BNNTs) was developed and systematic quantitative characterisation was conducted to validate its printability, physiochemical properties and biocompatibility. The printability, contact angle and mechanical test results indicated good structural stability of the scaffolds. The thermal stability of the scaffolds increased with the incorporation of f-BNNTs into Alg. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293T) were seeded on the scaffolds and the cell viability was recorded for 24, 48 and 72 h. Quantitative studies showed a slight effect on toxicity with a higher concentration of BNNTs in scaffolds. The results suggest that the 3D printable f-BNNTs reinforced Alg could be used as bioink for tissue engineering applications with further studies on biocompatibility.
