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

Three-dimensional bioprinting enables the precise fabrication of complex biological tissues through the layer-by-layer deposition of living cells and biomaterials, offering a promising strategy for reconstructing the female reproductive system. This technology has facilitated the development of in vitro models for tissues such as the endometrium, ovary, cervix, and vagina, providing improved structural fidelity and functional relevance. By leveraging bioinks, including decellularized extracellular matrix and advanced bioprinting techniques, researchers can recreate the intricate microarchitectures and vascular networks required for tissue functionality. These bioprinted systems serve as high-fidelity microphysiological systems for studying reproductive health, modeling disease progression, and evaluating therapeutic responses. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence into bioprinting workflows enhances reproducibility, scalability, and patient-specific customization. This review summarizes recent advances in reproductive tissue bioprinting and highlights its potential to transform regenerative gynecology and personalized reproductive healthcare.
