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

Biomaterials for repair and regeneration of soft tissues are ideally viscoelastic and processable. One way to obtain such materials is through dynamic cross-linking. Inspired by the high abundance of histidine residues in copper metalloproteins, we synthesized PHA copolymers containing imidazole side chains. The addition of a small amount of copper-(II) ions results in the formation of dynamically cross-linked materials whose properties are controlled by varying the copolymer composition and counterion identity. These materials are cytocompatible with human umbilical vein endothelial cells and exhibit promising degradation timelines. This work will inform the future use of dynamically cross-linked polyhydroxyalkanoates in soft tissue applications and provide a platform for accessing the wide range of material properties necessary for many organs in the human body.
