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

backgroundElectrospun nanofiber scaffolds have been widely used in tissue engineering because they can mimic extracellular matrix-like structures and offer advantages including high porosity, large specific surface area, and customizable structure. In this study, we prepared scaffolds composed of aligned and random electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers capable of delivering basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in a sustained manner for repairing damaged tendons.

resultsAligned and random PCL fiber scaffolds containing bFGF-loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanoparticles (BSA-bFGF NPs, diameter 146 ± 32 nm) were fabricated, respectively. To validate the viability of bFGF-loaded aligned PCL nanofiber scaffold (aPCL + bFGF group) in tendon tissue engineering, we assessed the in vitro differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) towards a tenogenic lineage and the in vivo regeneration of tendons using a rat Achilles tendon defect model. The encapsulated bFGF could be delivered in a sustained manner in vitro. The aPCL + bFGF scaffold promoted the in vitro differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) towards a tenogenic lineage. In the repair of a rat Achilles tendon defect model, the aPCL + bFGF group showed a better repair effect. The scaffold offers a promising substrate for the regeneration of tendon tissue.

conclusionsThe aligned and random PCL fiber scaffolds containing bFGF nanoparticles were successfully prepared, and their physical and chemical properties were characterized. The aPCL + bFGF scaffold could promote the expression of the related genes and proteins of tendon-forming, facilitating tendon differentiation. In the rat Achilles tendon defect experiments, the aPCL + bFGF exhibited excellent tendon regeneration effects.
