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

Recently, it has been recognized that natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissues are viscoelastic, while only elastic properties have been investigated in the past. How the viscoelastic matrix regulates stem cell patterning is critical for cell-ECM mechano-transduction. Here, this study fabricated different methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels using covalent cross-linking, consisting of two gels with similar elasticity (stiffness) but different viscoelasticity, and two gels with similar viscoelasticity but different elasticity (stiffness). Meanwhile, a second set of dual network hydrogels are fabricated containing both covalent and coordinated cross-links. Human spinal cord organoid (hSCO) patterning in HA hydrogels and co-culture with isogenic human blood vessel organoids (hBVOs) are investigated. The viscoelastic hydrogels promote regional hSCO patterning compared to the elastic hydrogels. More viscoelastic hydrogels can promote dorsal marker expression, while softer hydrogels result in higher interneuron marker expression. The effects of viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels become more dominant than the stiffness effects in the co-culture of hSCOs and hBVOs. In addition, more viscoelastic hydrogels can lead to more Yes-associated protein nuclear translocation, revealing the mechanism of cell-ECM mechano-transduction. This research provides insights into viscoelastic behaviors of the hydrogels during human organoid patterning with ECM-mimicking in vitro microenvironments for applications in regenerative medicine.
