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 bioprinting integrating living cells and bioactive materials enables the fabrication of scaffold structures supporting diverse cellular growth and metabolism. Microalgae are among the most promising microbial platforms for the construction of photosynthetic cell factories, while the current industrial-scale cultivation of microalgae remains predominantly dependent on traditional liquid submerged systems, imposing limitations on commercial viability due to both process and economic constraints. Encapsulation of microalgae within bioactive matrices combined with 3D bioprinting to fabricate customized structures has been explored to address the limitations of submerged cultivation, which are expected to expand microalgal applications and establish new research directions in microalgal biotechnology. This review analyzes both matrices and methods of 3D bioprinting, summarizing the advancement of microalgae-based 3D bioprinting into six main domains including living building materials, biophotovoltaics, photosynthetic biosynthesis, bioremediation, tissue engineering, and food engineering. Lastly, synthetic biology-informed perspectives are provided on future developments of 3D bioprinting technologies and their potential in microalgal research.
