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

Live biotherapeutic products (LBPs) are an emerging class of therapeutics comprised of engineered living organisms such as bacteria or yeast. Bioprinting with living materials has now become possible using modern three-dimensional (3D) printing strategies. While there has been significant progress in bioprinting cells, bioprinting LBPs, specifically yeast, remains in its infancy and has not been optimized. Yeasts are a promising platform to develop into protein biofactories because they (1) grow rapidly, (2) are easy to engineer and manufacture, and (3) are inexpensive to produce. Here we developed an optimized method for loading yeast into hydrogel patches using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. We assessed the effects of patch geometry, bioink composition, and yeast concentration on yeast viability, patch stability, and protein release, and in doing so developed a patch formulation capable of supporting yeast growth and sustained protein release for at least ten days.
