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

ObjectiveThe aim was to investigate starch-gelatin hydrogels as scaffolds for chondrogenesis and compare these with other materials currently in use regarding cell retention and growth.MethodsTwo variants of starch-gelatin-scaffolds and one chitosan-based scaffold were fabricated by casting and freeze-drying. The resulting materials were analyzed with respect to physicochemical and mechanical properties, cut to size, and seeded with human articular chondrocytes. Cell retention and proliferation were evaluated at 1, 14, and 42 days of culturing. Extracellular matrix production was analyzed by histo- and immunohistochemistry. Comparisons were made with that of commercially available hyaluronan- (Hyalofast
