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

The realization of soft robotic devices with life-like properties requires the engineering of smart, active materials that can respond to environmental cues in similar ways as living cells or organisms. Cell-free expression systems provide an approach for embedding dynamic molecular control into such materials that avoids many of the complexities associated with genuinely living systems. Here, we present a strategy to integrate cell-free protein synthesis within agarose-based hydrogels that can be spatially organized and supplied by a synthetic vasculature. We first utilize an indirect printing approach with a commercial bioprinter and Pluronic F-127 as a fugitive ink to define fluidic channel structures within the hydrogels. We then investigate the impact of the gel matrix on the expression of proteins in
