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

Silicon carbide (SiC)-coated carbon nanowalls (CNWs) have been proposed for use as implantable scaffold electrodes. Therefore, we investigated the effects of the SiC coating on CNWs and assessed the effects of the application of electrical stimulation (ES) on human mesenchymal stem cells cultured on SiC-coated CNWs. Measurements were conducted using immunofluorescence staining, proliferation assays, and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Our results showed that the SiC coating increased the cell adhesion area, and the combination of the SiC coating and ES promoted cell proliferation. Furthermore, ES enhanced osteogenic differentiation on CNWs, both with and without the SiC coating. In SiC-coated samples, the increase in wall thickness of CNWs by the SiC coating promoted neural differentiation. These findings indicate that scaffold electrodes composed of SiC-coated CNWs enhance cell adhesion and proliferation; the application of ES to such electrodes promotes osteogenic differentiation, while the SiC coating itself promotes neural differentiation.
