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 chemical composition of scaffolds is similar to the extracellular matrix of the target tissue, but sometimes scaffolds cannot meet the special functional requirements for the initial stage of engineering tissue, such as mechanical and optical properties. Bionic scaffolds require certain levels of supramolecular structure, textile structure and liquid crystal structure. Here, we will focus our attention on animal tissues with a similar high-level structure to that of the target organization and we hope to achieve the desired results through new technical means. In this study, we have developed a method to obtain a fish scale lamellar matrix from grass carp scales. The fine structure of the scale matrix has been studied, and it was found that the grass carp scale matrix is a textured structure consisting of multiple collagen sheets, which have a double-twisted spiral structure similar to a liquid crystal, thus correcting the literature reports of a single twisted spiral structure. Interestingly, this structure has many similarities with the cornea, cementum and tibial matrix. At the same time, the correlation between the etching time and the optical properties of the scaffold was also studied, and the scale matrix can reach light transmission and refraction levels similar to those of the corneal stroma. Moreover, the matrix has good mechanical properties,
