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

Tracheas have a tubular structure consisting of cartilage rings continuously joined by a connective tissue membrane comprising a capillary network for tissue survival. Several tissue engineering efforts have been devoted to the design of scaffolds to produce complex structures. In this study, we successfully fabricated an artificial materials-free autologous tracheal analogue with engraftment ability by combining in vitro cell self-aggregation technique and in-body tissue architecture. The cartilage rings prepared by aggregating chondrocytes on designated culture grooves that induce cell self-aggregation were alternately connected to the connective tissues to form tubular tracheal analogues by subcutaneous embedding as in-body tissue architecture. The tracheal analogues allogeneically implanted into the rat trachea matured into native-like tracheal tissue by covering of luminal surfaces by the ciliated epithelium with mucus-producing goblet cells within eight months after implantation, while maintaining their structural integrity. Such autologous tracheal analogues would provide a foundation for further clinical research on the application of tissue-engineered tracheas to ensure their long-term functionality.
