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

Introduction: Human endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (H-EMSCs) can inhibit endometrial fibrosis and repair damaged endometrium. However, direct cell injection into dam-aged endometrium shows limited cell survival. Cell seeding onto biomaterial-based electrospun membranes could improve H-EMSCs' survival and prolong their stay at the damaged endometrium. Polycaprolactone (PCL), silk fibroin (SF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) are synthetic or natural biomaterials used by the biomedicine field, however, their effects on the biological activities of H-EMSCs remain unclear. Methods: In this study, CD90 Results: H-EMSCs cultured on PCL-HA showed decreased IL-6 gene expression and increased IL-10, VEGFA, TGF-β gene expression vs. PCL-SF, establishing the potential to create a favorable micro-environment for generating vascularized endometrial tissues. PCL, PCL-SF, PCL-HA all supported CD90 and Meflin expression of the seeded H-EMSCs, establishing PCL as a platform to form enhanced biomaterial composites for endometrial repair in the future. Discussion: This study provided significant evidence sup-porting the potential of appropriately tailored composites of PCL and HA to moder-ate inflammation and wound-healing, which can be applied for endometrial tissue repair and regeneration.
