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

In the last years, considerable innovation has been made regarding bioprinting, particularly in the development of cell-loaded hydrogels. The specific properties of the bioinks are crucial for printing an adequate cell-laden hydrogel structure. In this research, we aimed to develop a 3D-printable hydrogel using a natural biocompatible polymer. The process is based on the use of sodium alginate subjected to calcium ion cross-linking for immediate stiffness after printing. Using the Cellink INKREDIBLE+ printer (Cellink Inc., Goteborg, Sweden), 3D structures were successfully produced. The developed bioink exhibited a viscosity suitable for extrusion printing while ensuring its structural integrity at the same time. Next, 3D spheroids developed by using bioinks were morphologically characterized by using light, a fluorescent microscope, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In conclusion, the properties of the construct obtained using the lab-formulated biocompatible polymer hydrogel suggest its potential use as a framework for three-dimensional cell culture, with possible applications in both fields of research and regenerative medicine.
