A biomimetic multilayered polymeric material designed for heart valve repair and replacement.
Article in Biomaterials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Materials currently used to repair or replace a heart valve are not durable. Their limited durability related to structural degeneration or thrombus formation is attributed to their inadequate mechanical properties and biocompatibility profiles. Our hypothesis is that a biostable material that mimics the structure, mechanical and biological properties of native tissue will improve the durability of these leaflets substitutes and in fine improve the patient outcome. Here, we report the development, optimization, and testing of a biomimetic, multilayered material (BMM), designed to replicate the native valve leaflets. Polycarbonate urethane and polycaprolactone have been processed as film, foam, and aligned fibers to replicate the leaflet's architecture and anisotropy, through solution casting, lyophilization, and electrospinning. Compared to the commercialized materials, our BMMs exhibited an anisotropic behavior and a closer mechanical performance to the aortic leaflets. The material exhibited superior biostability in an accelerated oxidization environment. It also displayed better resistance to protein adsorption and calcification in vitro and in vivo. These results will pave the way for a new class of advanced synthetic material with long-term durability for surgical valve repair or replacement.
