Peritoneal pre-conditioning impacts long-term vascular graft patency and remodeling.
Article in Biomaterials advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
There are questions about how well small-animal models for tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) translate to clinical patients. Most TEVG studies used grafting times ≤6 months where conduits from generally biocompatible materials like poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) perform well. However, longer grafting times can result in significant intimal hyperplasia and calcification. This study tests the hypothesis that differences in pro-inflammatory response from pure PCL conduits will be consequential after long-term grafting. It also tests the long-term benefits of a peritoneal pre-implantation strategy on rodent outcomes. Electrospun conduits with and without peritoneal pre-implantation, and with 0 % and 10 % (w/w) collagen/PCL, were grafted into abdominal aortae of rats for 10 months. This study found that viability of control grafts without pre-implantation was reduced unlike prior studies with shorter grafting times, confirming the relevance of this model. Importantly, pre-implanted grafts had a 100 % patency rate. Further, pre-implantation reduced intimal hyperplasia within the graft. Differences in response between pure PCL and collagen/PCL conduits were observed (e.g., fewer CD80
