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

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), which is the rich source of growth factors, has been used as an efficient scaffold in tissue engineering and wound healing. In this study, tannic acid as a green cross-linker with different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 5% and 10%) was used to improve the properties of PRF. The cross-linked gel scaffolds were evaluated by analyses such as scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, swelling and degradation, mechanical strength, cell toxicity, cell adhesion and antibacterial test. The results showed that the scaffold structure changes by increasing cross-linker concentration. The swelling rate decreased from 49% to 5% for the samples without the cross-linker and with tannic acid (10%), respectively. The degradation percentage for the cross-linked samples was 8%, which showed a lower degradation rate than the non-cross-linked samples (63%). The mechanical strength of the scaffold with the cross-linker increased up to three times (Young's modulus for the non-cross linked and the cross-linked samples: 0.01 and 0.6 MPa, respectively). Cytotoxicity was not observed up to 10% cross-linker concentration. The cells proliferated well on the cross-linked scaffolds and also showed a good antibacterial effect. In general, tannic acid can improve the physical and mechanical properties of PRF without negatively affecting its biological properties.
