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

Collagen peptide (COP) is water soluble, bioactive, and tends to be a promising alternative to collagen for tissue regeneration. However, its low viscosity and lack of readily polymerizable groups hinder its bioprinting and limit its wide applications in tissue engineering. In this study, methacrylated collagen peptide-xanthan gum (COPMA-XG) bioinks with interpenetrating networks are developed for bioprinting stable constructs, followed by stem cell differentiation. First, self-healing COPMA hydrogels are developed with rapid UV-curing and tunable mechanical properties. To increase the printability and the mechanical properties of COPMA, XG is mixed to create a set of COPMA-XG bioinks. COPMA-XG hydrogels show self-healing properties, optimal printability, and stable morphology in the medium. The bioprinted human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) laden COPMA-XG constructs are biocompatible and bioactive, with increased production of extracellular matrix, collagen type I, and scleraxis over 28 days. Overall, bioprinted COPMA-XG constructs are versatile matrices to support hMSCs proliferation and differentiation with potential for ligament tissue engineering.
