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

3D Bioprinting technology has been applied to vaginal reconstruction with satisfactory results. Understanding the transcriptome and proteome of regenerated vaginas is essential for knowing how biomaterials and seed cells contribute to vaginal regeneration. There are no reports on the systemic analysis of vaginal regeneration transcriptomes or proteomes. This study aims to explore the transcriptomic and proteomic features of vaginal tissue reconstructed with 3D bioprinted scaffolds. The scaffolds were made with biomaterials and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and then transplanted into a rabbit model.rna sequencing was used to analyze the transcriptomes of reconstructed and normal vaginal tissues, identifying 11,956 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and data-independent acquisition (DIA) identified 7,363 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed on DEGs and deps. Results showed that DEGs and deps.were involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, inflammatory response, epithelialization, and muscle formation. This study shows that 3D bioprinted scaffolds are feasible for vaginal reconstruction and offers new insights into the molecular mechanisms involved.
