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

Successful integration of cell-laden tissue constructs with host vasculature depends on the presence of functional capillaries to provide oxygen and nutrients to the embedded cells. However, diffusion limitations of cell-laden biomaterials challenge regeneration of large tissue defects that require bulk-delivery of hydrogels and cells. Herein, a strategy to bioprint geometrically controlled, endothelial and stem-cell laden microgels in high-throughput is introduced, allowing these cells to form mature and functional pericyte-supported vascular capillaries in vitro, and then injecting these pre-vascularized constructs minimally invasively in-vivo. It is demonstrated that this approach offers both desired scalability for translational applications as well as unprecedented levels of control over multiple microgel parameters to design spatially-tailored microenvironments for better scaffold functionality and vasculature formation. As a proof-of-concept, the regenerative capacity of the bioprinted pre-vascularized microgels is compared with that of cell-laden monolithic hydrogels of the same cellular and matrix composition in hard-to-heal defects in vivo. The results demonstrate that the bioprinted microgels have faster and higher connective tissue formation, more vessels per area, and widespread presence of functional chimeric (human and murine) vascular capillaries across regenerated sites. The proposed strategy, therefore, addresses a significant issue in regenerative medicine, demonstrating a superior potential to facilitate translational regenerative efforts.
