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

A combination of the viscoelastic properties of hyaluronic acid (HA) and the elastic properties of star shaped 8-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (8-arm PEG) was used to design in-situ forming hydrogels. Hydrogels were prepared by the enzymatic crosslinking of a partially tyramine modified 8-arm PEG and a tyramine conjugated HA using horseradish peroxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogels of the homopolymer conjugates and mixtures thereof were rapidly formed within seconds under physiological conditions at low polymer and enzyme concentrations. Elastic hydrogels with high gel content (≥95%) and high storage moduli (up to 22.4 kPa) were obtained. An in vitro study in the presence of hyaluronidase (100 U/mL) revealed that with increasing PEG content the degradation time of the hybrid hydrogels increased up to several weeks, whereas hydrogels composed of only hyaluronic acid degraded within 2 weeks. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) incorporated in the hybrid hydrogels remained viable as shown by a PrestoBlue and a live-dead assay, confirming the biocompatibility of the constructs. The production of an extracellular matrix by re-differentiation of encapsulated human chondrocytes was followed over a period of 28 days. Gene expression indicated that these highly elastic hydrogels induced an enhanced production of collagen type II. At low PEG-TA/HA-TA ratios a higher expression of SOX 9 and ACAN was observed. These results indicate that by modulating the ratio of PEG/HA, injectable hydrogels can be prepared applicable as scaffolds for tissue regeneration applications.
