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

The surface morphology and topography of cell culture substrates play an important role in cell proliferation and growth. Regulation of the surface microstructure allows the development of tissue culture media suitable for different cells. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biobased and biodegradable (under defined conditions) polymer with low immunogenicity, non-toxicity, and good mechanical properties, which have facilitated their pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. This review summarizes recent advances in the synthesis and self-assembly of surface microstructure based on PLA materials and discusses their biomedical applications such as cell culturing and tissue engineering.
