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

Decellularized extracellular matrix scaffold, widely utilized for organ engineering, often undergoes matrix decomposition after transplantation and produces byproducts that cause inflammation, leading to clinical failure. Here we propose a strategy using nano-graphene oxide to modify the biophysical properties of decellularized liver scaffolds. Notably, we demonstrate that scaffolds crosslinked with nano-graphene oxide show high resistance to enzymatic degradation via direct inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase activity and increased mechanical rigidity. We find that M2-like macrophage polarization is promoted within the crosslinked scaffolds, which reduces graft-elicited inflammation. Moreover, we show that low activities of matrix metalloproteinases, attributed to both nano-graphene oxide and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases expressed by M2c, can protect the crosslinked scaffolds against in vivo degradation. Lastly, we demonstrate that bioengineered livers fabricated with the crosslinked scaffolds remain functional, thereby effectively regenerating damaged livers after transplantation into liver failure mouse models. Overall, nano-graphene oxide crosslinking prolongs allograft survival and ultimately improves therapeutic effects of bioengineered livers, which offer an alternative for donor organs.
