Mouse In Vitro Spermatogenesis on 3D Bioprinted Scaffolds.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Testes have a complex architecture that is compartmentalized into seminiferous tubules with a diameter of approximatively 200 μm in which the germ cells differentiate, surrounded by a basement membrane and interstitium. 3D bioprinting might be used to recreate the compartmentalized testicular architecture in vitro. Directed by a software program, pneumatic microextrusion printers can deposit 3D layers of hydrogel-encapsulated interstitial cells in a controlled manner by applying pressure. Once macroporous-shaped scaffolds resembling seminiferous tubules have been bioprinted with interstitial cells, the epithelial cell fraction can be seeded in the macropores to resemble the in vivo testicular architecture. Moreover, macropores can serve as a delimitation for all testicular cells to reorganize and improve the supply of nutrients to cells through the 3D constructs.
