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

backgroundReconstructive defect coverage after irradiation remains a challenge in reconstructive surgery, as ionizing radiation leads to tissue ischemia and fibrosis. Therefore, the application of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) might be a therapeutic strategy for improving flap survival. Nevertheless, the influence of irradiation on ASCs remains unclear. This study examines the effect of irradiation on 3D-printed ASCs.

methodsASCs were 3D-cultured. The constructs were irradiated with 2 Gy and 5 Gy; one group treated with 0 Gy served as the non-irradiated control group. Cell viability was measured via a WST-8 assay, a live/dead assay and fluorescence microscopy 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after irradiation. Furthermore, qPCR analysis was performed to detect the expression of HIF-1α, p53 and IL-6 at the same timepoints.

resultsCell survival was high after 24 h. Expression of HIF1α after 24 h was 1.5 times significantly higher in the 2 Gy group compared with the 0 Gy group. The expression of other genes was not significantly affected by irradiation. Measurement of the metabolic activity and survival of the ASCs did not show differences between the different groups at all timepoints.

conclusions3D-cultured adipose-derived stem cells maintain high viability after moderate irradiation, suggesting radioresistance.
