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

Developing scaffolds supporting functional cell attachment and tissue growth is critical in basic cell research, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine approaches. Though poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and its derivatives are attractive for hydrogels and scaffold fabrication, they often require bioactive modifications due to their bioinert nature. In this work, biomimetic synthesized conductive polypyrrole-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) copolymer doped with poly(styrenesulfonate) (PPy-PEDOT:PSS) was used as a biocompatible coating for poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel to support neuronal and muscle cells' attachment, activity, and differentiation. The synthesized copolymer was characterized by Raman spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering. Its electrochemical properties were studied using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and voltammetry. PPy-PEDOT:PSS-coated hydrogels were characterized by Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, and protein adsorption was assessed using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. Attachment and differentiation of the ND7/23 neuron hybrid cell line and C2C12 myoblasts were evaluated by cell cytoskeleton staining and quantification of morphological parameters. Viability was assessed by live/dead staining using flow cytometry. Cortex neural activity was studied by calcium ion influx that could be detected through the dynamic fluorescence changes of Fluo-4. The PPy-PEDOT:PSS coating supported cell attachment and differentiation and was nontoxic to cells. Primary neurons attached and remained responsive to electrical stimulation. Altogether, the biocompatible copolymer PPy-PEDOT:PSS is a simple yet effective alternative for hydrogel coating and presents great potential as an interface for nervous and other electrically excitable tissues.
