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

Increasing occurrence of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a serious threat to the reproductive health of women in recent years. However, treatment options remain limited. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies have shown a promising regenerative capacity of injured endometrium but have limited effectiveness by the low survival duration of transplanted cells. Herein, we present a bioactive hydrogel scaffold loaded with adipose tissue-derived MSC (AT-MSC) by using a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology, which combines the characteristics of the synthetic thermos-responsive material PF-127 and the natural-derived, photo-polymerizable material GelMA. The composite hydrogel scaffold shows enhanced mechanical as well as biocompatibility. In addition, the porous structure endows the 3D-printed scaffold with a favorable growing environment for MSC and increase the retention rate of cells. Finally, the dual repair effects of the MSC-laden gel scaffold on endometrial damage and regeneration are validated in a rat IUA model. This study demonstrates that the composite system could improve neovascularization, increase number of glands, and ameliorate fibrotic formation of endometrium. Thus, it is believed that such bioactive MSC-loaded scaffold is a promising candidate for prevention of IUA with reliable endometrial regeneration properties.
