A Biomimetic Leaflet Scaffold for Aortic Valve Remodeling.
Article in Advanced healthcare materials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Heart valve disease poses a significant clinical challenge, especially in pediatric populations, due to the inability of existing valve replacements to grow or respond biologically to their microenvironment. Tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs) provide a solution by facilitating patient-specific models for self-repair and remodeling. In this study, a 3D-bioprinted TEHV is designed to emulate the trilayer leaflet structure of an aortic valve. A cell-laden hydrogel scaffold made from gelatin methacrylate and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (GelMA/PEGDA) incorporates valvular interstitial-like (VIC-like) cells, being reinforced with a layer of polycaprolactone (PCL). The composition of the hydrogel scaffold remains stable over 7 days, having increased mechanical strength compared to pure GelMA. The scaffold maintains VIC-like cell function and promotes extracellular matrix (ECM) protein expression up to 14 days under two dynamic culture conditions: shear stress and stretching; replicating heart valve behavior within a more physiological-like setting and suggesting remodeling potential via ECM synthesis. This TEHV offers a promising avenue for valve replacements, closely replicating the structural and functional attributes of a native aortic valve, leading to mechanical and biological integration through biomaterial-cellular interactions.
