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

Three-dimensional printing of microchannel networks mimicking native vasculature provides essential functions for biomedical applications. However, developing a highly "adaptable" technique - that can adjust to diverse materials choices, high shape accuracy, and broad size ranges - for producing physiologically responsive vasculature remains challenging. Here, an innovative hydrogen bond re-orientation (HyBRO) strategy for microchannel network fabrication is reported. By identifying interfacial instability of sacrificial material (SM) during embedding as a core limitation, this strategy prints the SM into an optimal "nonsolvent" to shape the desirable channel structure. In this process, the nonsolvent instantaneously switches the SM from forming hydrogen bonds with exterior water to forming interior linkages inside it. This transition protects the SM from external solvent "erosion" upon re-exposure to embedding material, inhibiting deformation. Consequently, this approach enables the creation of accurate (>90%), multiscale (10-fold), hierarchical microchannel networks, accommodating accurate printing of a wide range of ink materials - extending from typical hydrophilic polymers into non-typical hydrophobic ones. Further biological tests demonstrate that HyBRO-produced vasculature recapitulates not only essential endothelial barrier function but also delicate ion-channel responses to varying shear stresses, highlighting its potential for engineering physiologically responsive vasculature in broad applications.
