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

We establish a versatile hydrogel platform based on modular building blocks that allows the design of hydrogels with tailored physical architecture and mechanical properties. We demonstrate its versatility by assembling (i) a fully monolithic gelatin methacryloyl (Gel-MA) hydrogel, (ii) a hybrid hydrogel composed of 1:1 Gel-MA and gelatin nanoparticles, and (iii) a fully particulate hydrogel based on methacryloyl-modified gelatin nanoparticles. The hydrogels were formulated to exhibit the same solid content and comparable storage modulus but different stiffness and viscoelastic stress relaxation. The incorporation of particles resulted in softer hydrogels with enhanced stress relaxation. Murine osteoblastic cells cultured in two-dimensional (2D) on hydrogels showed proliferation and metabolic activity comparable to established collagen hydrogels. Furthermore, the osteoblastic cells showed a trend of increased cell numbers, cell expansion, and more defined protrusions on stiffer hydrogels. Hence, modular assembly allows the design of hydrogels with tailored mechanical properties and the potential to alter cell behavior.
