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

This study investigates how geometrical variations in volumetrically printed (Vol3DP) structures influence the attachment, survival, and organization of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and osteosarcoma cells (143b). A gelatin methacryloyl-poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (GelMA-PEGDA) resin was optimized for volumetric bioprinting. Compared to GelMA, Gel-PEG enhanced printing fidelity, mechanical properties, and dimensional stability. Disc-like constructs and channels with straight or angled geometries (60°, 90°, 110°) were fabricated and cultured with both cell types for up to 14 days. Label-free holographic microscopy allowed real-time visualization of cellular protrusions, critical for adhesion and mechanosensing, without staining, enabling long-term live-cell analysis in 3D constructs. HUVECs adhered, expressed CD31, and exhibited geometry-dependent spreading, reflecting their native mechanosensitivity and alignment during vascular morphogenesis. In contrast, 143b cells spread uniformly, formed dense, geometry-independent aggregates, and showed enhanced growth in Gel-PEG compared to GelMA, consistent with their aggressive, metastatic behavior. These findings demonstrate that Gel-PEG provides a stable, biomimetic matrix suitable for high-resolution Vol3DP and that holographic microscopy enables dynamic assessment of cell-material interactions. Together, they underscore the potential of this approach for engineering vascularized tissue models and for studying mechanobiological responses in both endothelial and cancer cell systems.
