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 recent years, the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) has emerged as a crucial component of biocompatibility testing for biomaterials designed for regenerative strategies and tissue engineering applications. This study explores angiogenic potential of an innovative acellular and porous biopolymer scaffold, based on polyhydroxybutyrate and chitosan (PHB/CHIT), using the ex ovo quail CAM assay as an alternative to the conventional chick CAM test. On embryonic day 6 (ED6), we placed the tested biomaterials on the CAM alone or soaked them with various substances, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A), saline, or the endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor Angiostatin. After 72 h (ED9), we analyzed blood vessels formation, a sign of ongoing angiogenesis, in the vicinity of the scaffold and within its pores. We employed marker for cell proliferation (PHH3), embryonic endothelium (WGA, SNA), myofibroblasts (α-SMA), and endothelial cells (QH1) for morphological and histochemical analysis. Our findings demonstrated the robust angiogenic potential of the untreated scaffold without additional influence from the angiogenic factor VEGF-A. Furthermore, gene expression analysis revealed an upregulation of pro-angiogenic growth factors, including VEGF-A, ANG-2, and VE-Cadherin after 5 days of implantation, indicative of a pro-angiogenic microenvironment. These results underscore the inherent angiogenic potential of the PHB/CHIT composite. Additionally, monitoring of CAM microvilli growing to the scaffold provides a methodology for investigating the biocompatibility of materials using the ex ovo quail CAM assay as a suitable alternative model compared to the chicken CAM platform. This approach offers a rapid screening method for biomaterials in the field of tissue repair/regeneration and engineering.
