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

backgroundTissue engineering, including 3D bioprinting, holds great promise as a therapeutic tool for repairing cartilage defects. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to treat various fields due to their ability to differentiate into different cell types. The biomimetic substrate, such as scaffolds and hydrogels, is a crucial factor that affects cell behavior, and the mechanical properties of the substrate have been shown to impact differentiation during incubation. In this study, we examine the effect of the mechanical properties of the 3D printed scaffolds, made using different concentrations of cross-linker, on hMSCs differentiation towards chondrogenesis.

methodsThe 3D scaffold was fabricated using 3D bioprinting technology with gelatin/hyaluronic acid (HyA) biomaterial ink. Crosslinking was achieved by using different concentrations of 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methlymorpholinium chloride n-hydrate (DMTMM), allowing for control of the scaffold's mechanical properties. The printability and stability were also evaluated based on the concentration of DMTMM used. The effects of the gelatin/HyA scaffold on chondrogenic differentiation was analyzed by utilizing various concentrations of DMTMM.

resultsThe addition of HyA was found to improve the printability and stability of 3D printed gelatin/HyA scaffolds. The mechanical properties of the 3D gelatin/HyA scaffold could be regulated through the use of different concentrations of DMTMM cross-linker. In particular, the use of 0.25 mM DMTMM for crosslinking the 3D gelatin/HyA scaffold resulted in enhanced chondrocyte differentiation.

conclusionThe mechanical properties of 3D printed gelatin/HyA scaffolds cross-linked using various concentrations of DMTMM can influence the differentiation of hMSCs into chondrocytes.
