Conductive Bacterial Nanocellulose-Polypyrrole Patches Promote Cardiomyocyte Differentiation.
Article in ACS applied bio materials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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 low endogenous regenerative capacity of the heart, added to the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, triggered the advent of cardiac tissue engineering in the last decades. The myocardial niche plays a critical role in directing the function and fate of cardiomyocytes; therefore, engineering a biomimetic scaffold holds excellent promise. We produced an electroconductive cardiac patch of bacterial nanocellulose (BC) with polypyrrole nanoparticles (Ppy NPs) to mimic the natural myocardial microenvironment. BC offers a 3D interconnected fiber structure with high flexibility, which is ideal for hosting Ppy nanoparticles. BC-Ppy composites were produced by decorating the network of BC fibers (65 ± 12 nm) with conductive Ppy nanoparticles (83 ± 8 nm). Ppy NPs effectively augment the conductivity, surface roughness, and thickness of BC composites despite reducing scaffolds' transparency. BC-Ppy composites were flexible (up to 10 mM Ppy), maintained their intricate 3D extracellular matrix-like mesh structure in all Ppy concentrations tested, and displayed electrical conductivities in the range of native cardiac tissue. Furthermore, these materials exhibit tensile strength, surface roughness, and wettability values appropriate for their final use as cardiac patches.
