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

This study presents the preparation of ultrathin poly-(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) nanofibrous membranes (PBLG-NfMs), approximately 5.1 μm thick, engineered as scaffolds for retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell cultivation. PBLG-NfMs exhibited high porosity and large pores. To enhance bioactivity, the membranes were modified using air plasma treatment to improve wettability, followed by modification with fibronectin, a key extracellular matrix protein that promotes cell adhesion and migration. Fibronectin adsorption and its uniform distribution across the nanofiber network were proven by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence measurements. In vitro studies have demonstrated that such synthetic poly-(α-amino acid)-based membranes effectively support RPE cell viability, adhesion, and proliferation. Furthermore, immunocytochemical staining confirmed the expression of RPE-specific markers ZO-1 and RPE65, indicating preserved epithelial phenotype and functionality. These results highlight the potential of fibronectin-coated PBLG-NfMs as promising scaffolds for eye tissue engineering.
