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

In this work, we report the design and fabrication of a light-addressable, paper-based nanocomposite scaffold for optical pacing and read-out of in vitro grown cardiac tissue. The scaffold consists of paper cellulose microfibers functionalized with gold nanorods (GNRs) and semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), embedded in a cell-permissive collagen matrix. The GNRs enable cardiomyocyte activity modulation through local temperature gradients induced by modulated near-infrared (NIR) laser illumination, with the local temperature changes reported by temperature-dependent QD photoluminescence (PL). The micrometer-sized paper fibers promote the tubular organization of HL-1 cardiac muscle cells, while the NIR plasmonic stimulation modulates reversibly their activity. Given the nanoscale spatial resolution and facile fabrication, paper-based nanocomposite scaffolds with NIR modulation offer excellent alternatives to electrode-based or optogenetic methods for cell activity modulation, at the single cell level, and are compatible with 3D tissue constructs. Such paper-based optical platforms can provide new possibilities for the development of in vitro drug screening assays and heart disease modeling.
