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 synergistic integration of microfluidic technologies with additive manufacturing systems is advancing the development of innovative platforms to 3D bioprint scaffolds for tissue engineering with unparalleled biological relevance. Significant interest is growing in realizing porous functionally graded materials (pFGMs) that can resemble the hierarchical organization of porosity found in bone tissue. This study introduces a method for fabricating porous scaffolds based on the real-time generation of a liquid foam, which is gelled, forming porous fibers that are organized into structured matrixes using a 3D bioprinting system. The primary advantage of this approach is the possibility to adjust bubble size during printing dynamically, modifying the characteristics of the deposited foamed filaments online and in one step. As a result, locally-defined and tailor-made pores can be distributed in 3D structures with high spatial accuracy. Besides the mechanical and morphological characterization of diverse microarchitectures, we also explored the biocompatibility of the proposed approach by directly embedding osteosarcoma cells within the biomaterial. Results demonstrated the biocompatibility of the proposed methodology and revealed the influence of the interior microporosity on cell proliferation, highlighting the potential for creating tailored tissue microenvironments. The findings underscore the versatility of the presented 3D bioprinting system and its potential in fabricating biomimetic scaffolds with tailored morphological gradients, representing a substantial advancement in pFGM synthesis, with direct implications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
