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

In this study, we described the preparation of sponge-like porous scaffolds that are feasible for medical applications. A porous structure provides a good microenvironment for cell attachment and proliferation. In this study, a biocompatible PHA, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) was blended with gelatine to improve the copolymer's hydrophilicity, while structural porosity was introduced into the scaffold via a combination of solvent casting and freeze-drying techniques. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that the blended scaffolds exhibited higher porosity when the 4HB compositions of P(3HB-
