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

3D bioprinting is an emerging biofabrication strategy using bioinks, comprising cells and biocompatible materials, to produce functional tissue models. Despite progress in building increasingly complex objects, biological analyses in printed constructs remain challenging. Especially, methods that allow non-invasive and non-destructive evaluation of embedded cells are largely missing. Here, we implemented Raman imaging for molecular-sensitive investigations on bioprinted objects. Different aspects such as culture formats (2D, 3D-cast, and 3D-printed), cell types (endothelial cells and fibroblasts), and the selection of the biopolymer (alginate, alginate/nanofibrillated cellulose, alginate/gelatin) were considered and evaluated. Raman imaging allowed for marker-independent identification and localization of subcellular components against the surrounding biomaterial background. Furthermore, single-cell analysis of spectral signatures, performed by multivariate analysis, demonstrated discrimination between endothelial cells and fibroblasts and identified cellular features influenced by the bioprinting process. In summary, Raman imaging was successfully established to analyze cells in 3D culture in situ and evaluate them with regard to the localization of different cell types and their molecular phenotype as a valuable tool for quality control of bioprinted objects.
