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

Shear stress is a significant consideration in 3D bioprinting systems, with implications for cell viability and behaviour. This study hypothesised that relevant levels of shear stress would be generated during the process of 3D bioprinting human nasoseptal chondrocytes in a nanocellulose alginate bioink, with implications for cell viability and chondrogenic gene expression. Through a combined approach of in silico modelling and in vitro testing, we assessed chondrocyte viability and gene expression immediately within the first 72 h post-printing. Cell viability was determined using live-dead, alamarBlue and lactate dehydrogenase assays immediately and 24 h post-printing compared to cell-only and unprinted cell-biomaterial controls. Gene expression analysis of Type 2 collagen, SOX9, aggrecan and alkaline phosphatase gene expression was performed 4 h and 72 h post-printing. Computational fluid dynamics predicted a shear stress of 292 Pa and maximum fluid velocity of 19 mm/s during the bioprinting process. No statistically significant cell death or cell lysis was detected between groups immediately post-printing; however, statistically significant chondrocyte cell death was observed at 24 h in the printed group (
