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

The bioengineering of vascular networks is pivotal to create complex tissues and organs for regenerative medicine applications. However, bioengineered tissues comprising an arterial and venous plexus alongside a lymphatic capillary network have not been explored yet. Here, scRNA-seq is first employed to investigate the arterio-venous endothelial cell marker patterning in human fetal and juvenile skin. Transcriptomic analysis reveals that arterial and venous endothelial cell markers NRP1 (neuropilin 1) and NR2F2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 2) are broadly expressed in fetal and juvenile skin. In contrast, expression of NRP1 and NR2F2 on the protein level is cell-type specific and is retained in 2D (2-dimensional) cultures in vitro. Finally, distinct arterial and venous capillaries are bioengineered in 3D (3-dimensional) hydrogels and rapid anastomosis is demonstrated with the host vasculature in vivo. In summary, the bioengineering of human arterial, venous, and lymphatic capillaries is established, hence paving the way for these cells to be used in regenerative medicine and future clinical applications.
