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 design of hydrogels that combine both the biochemical cues needed to direct seeded cellular functions and mineralization to provide the structural and mechanical properties approaching those of mineralized native bone extracellular matrix (ECM) represents a significant challenge in bone tissue engineering. While fibrous hydrogels constituting of collagen or fibrin (and their hybrids) can be considered as scaffolds that mimic to some degree native bone ECM, their insufficient mechanical properties limit their application. In the present study, an automated gel aspiration-ejection (automated GAE) method was used to generate collagen-fibrin hybrid gel scaffolds with micro-architectures and mechanical properties approaching those of native bone ECM. Moreover, the functionalization of these hybrid scaffolds with negatively charged silk sericin accelerated their mineralization under acellular conditions in simulated body fluid and modulated the proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of seeded MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblastic cells. In the latter case, alkaline phosphatase activity measurements indicated that the hybrid gel scaffolds with seeded cells showed accelerated osteoblastic differentiation, which in turn led to increased matrix mineralization. In summary, the design of dense collagen-fibrin hybrid gels through an automated GAE process can provide a route to tailoring specific biochemical and mechanical properties to different types of bone ECM-like scaffolds, and can provide a model to better understand cell-matrix interactions in vitro for bioengineering purposes.
