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 (3D) bioprinting of emulsion gels is expected to achieve a flexible design of dysphagia diets for individuals with difficulty in swallowing. In this study, the 3D bioprinting of emulsion gels have been achieved using radiofrequency (RF) and microwaves (MW). The textural properties were controlled using different RF and MW frequencies. The structure of an emulsion gel ink was composed of ovalbumin, xanthan gum, MgCl2, Tween 80, and canola oil, satisfying the dysphagia diet criteria. The RF treatment at 200 MHz effectively improved the hardness of the emulsion gel by forming thick fibrous aggregates of ovalbumin and ovotransferrin. A 3D-bioprinting system equipped with LEGO Mindstorm EV3 and RF/MW heating was developed in this study to prepare structured emulsion gels. The properties of the 3D-printed gels were found to be equivalent to those of the gels obtained by batch RF/MW heating, satisfying the standards of textural properties for dysphagia diets. The developed RF/MW 3D-bioprinting of hydrogels can be further applied to products such as artificial or cultured meats.
