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

Cultivated fish can offer seafood with lower environmental impact and improved animal welfare. Electrospun fibres, resembling collagen in structure and size, can mimic the myoseptum -an important structural element for fish fillet patterning. Here, we cultured Dicentrarchus labrax Embryonic Cells (DLEC) for the first time on edible zein-gelatin electrospun fibres. Notably, we successfully incorporated biomass of the microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica into the fibres. The effect of the Maillard reaction as thermal crosslinking method was studied. The structure, chemical composition, mechanical performance and biocompatibility of the electrospun fibres were evaluated. Fibres containing N. oceanica biomass significantly enhanced DLEC adhesion, leading to faster proliferation. Aligned fibres promoted DLEC alignment, an important feature for improving texture in food products. Finally, the fibrous scaffolds and edible bioinks were successfully combined to fabricate a cultivated fish prototype. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of edible electrospun fibres for the development of cultivated fish fillets.
