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

Bioprinting allows for the fabrication of tissue-like constructs by precise architecture and positioning of the bioactive hydrogels with living cells. This study was performed to determine the effect of very low concentrations of alginate (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5% w/v) on bioprinting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) in gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA; 5% w/v)/alginate blend. Furthermore, while GelMA was photocrosslinked in all bioprinted constructs, the effect of crosslinking alginate with calcium chloride on the physical and biological characteristics of the constructs was investigated. The inclusion of low-concentration alginate improved the viscosity and printability of the formulation as well as the compressive modulus of the hydrogels, particularly when ionically crosslinked with calcium chloride, compared with the group in that alginate was not crosslinked. However, the stability and degradability of 3D printed scaffolds that were only photocrosslinked were comparable to those that were additionally crosslinked with calcium chloride. Noteworthily, ionic crosslinking of alginate deteriorated the viability of BMSC. Morphology and growth of BMSC were improved by adding a low alginate concentration; however, ionic crosslinking of alginate affected these factors adversely. The findings of this study underscore the significance of carefully evaluating the crosslinking strategy used in conjunction with cell-laden GelMA/alginate hydrogel to achieve balanced physical and biological properties as well as less complicated post-bioprinting processing.
