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

In this study, we present the development of a cryobioink designed to fabricate anisotropic scaffolds that support both neural and muscle cell alignment. Given the critical role of cellular organization in nerve fibers and neuromuscular junctions, we employed a vertical cryobioprinting-enabled ice-templating technique to create scaffolds with aligned microchannels. These channels facilitated cell alignment, which is important in modeling neural and neuromuscular tissues. By integrating hyaluronic acid-methacrylate (HAMA) with gelatin methacryloyl and the necessary cryoprotective agent melezitose, we showcased that the cryobioink could preserve cell viability during freezing/thawing processes, even at low temperatures employed during cryobioprinting. We optimized HAMA concentration to enhance neural cell viability and alignment, and successfully constructed anisotropic scaffolds featuring distinct sections that contained muscle and neural cells, establishing a model for neuromuscular junctions. The resulting models provide a versatile platform for studying nerve fibers and neuromuscular dysfunctions, offering potential advancements in neural regeneration research.
