Correlative Imaging of 3D Cell Culture on Opaque Bioscaffolds for Tissue Engineering Applications.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Three-dimensional (3D) tissue engineering (TE) is a prospective treatment that can be used to restore or replace damaged musculoskeletal tissues such as articular cartilage. However, current challenges in TE include identifying materials that are biocompatible and have properties that closely match the mechanical properties and cellular environment of the target tissue, while allowing for 3D tomography of porous scaffolds as well as their cell growth and proliferation characterization. This is particularly challenging for opaque scaffolds. Here we use graphene foam (GF) as a 3D porous biocompatible substrate which is scalable, reproduceable, and a suitable environment for ATDC5 cell growth and chondrogenic differentiation. ATDC5 cells are cultured, maintained, and stained with a combination of fluorophores and gold nanoparticle to enable correlative microscopic characterization techniques, which elucidate the effect of GF properties on cell behavior in a three-dimensional environment. Most importantly, our staining protocols allows for direct imaging of cell growth and proliferation on opaque GF scaffolds using X-ray MicroCT, including imaging growth of cells within the hollow GF branches which is not possible with standard fluorescence and electron microscopy techniques.
