Development of Silk Fibroin Scaffolds for Vascular Repair.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Silk fibroin (SF) is a biocompatible natural protein with excellent mechanical characteristics. SF-based biomaterials can be structured using a number of techniques, allowing the tuning of materials for specific biomedical applications. In this study, SF films, porous membranes, and electrospun membranes were produced using solvent-casting, salt-leaching, and electrospinning methodologies, respectively. SF-based materials were subjected to physicochemical and biological characterizations to determine their suitability for tissue regeneration applications. Mechanical analysis showed stress-strain curves of brittle materials in films and porous membranes, while electrospun membranes featured stress-strain curves typical of ductile materials. All samples showed similar chemical composition, melting transition, hydrophobic behavior, and low cytotoxicity levels, regardless of their architecture. Finally, all of the SF-based materials promote the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). These findings demonstrate the different relationship between HUVEC behavior and the SF sample's topography, which can be taken advantage of for the design of vascular implants.
