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

Collagen, the most abundant structural protein in the human extracellular matrix (ECM), provides essential support for tissues and guides tissue development. Despite its widespread use in tissue engineering, there remains uncertainty regarding the optimal selection of collagen sources. Animal-derived sources pose challenges such as immunogenicity, while the recombinant system is hindered by diminished bioactivity. In this study, we hypothesized that human ECM-like collagen (hCol) could offer an alternative for tissue engineering. In this study, a facile platform was provided for generating hCol derived from mesenchymal stem cells with a hierarchical structure and biochemical properties resembling native collagen. Our results further demonstrated that hCol could facilitate basal biological behaviors of human adipose-derived stem cells, including viability, proliferation, migration and adipocyte-like phenotype. Additionally, it could promote cutaneous wound closure. Due to its high similarity to native collagen and good bioactivity, hCol holds promise as a prospective candidate for
