Improved Surface Properties and Enhanced Cell Adhesion on Poly-ε-Caprolactone for Heart Valve Tissue Engineering Applications via H
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
A tissue-engineered heart valve is a fully functional tissue facilitated through the cultivation of autologous cells on appropriate scaffolds. Scaffold's surface charge and wettability are the main factors that significantly affect cell adhesion, which is known to be favourable on hydrophilic surfaces. Moreover, biocompatible scaffolds that induce minimal immunogenic response are also essential for successful tissue engineering (TE). However, commonly used biocompatible polymers with preferable bulk properties lack desirable surface properties. For example, poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), which is widely used as a scaffold in TE, is known for its satisfying structural and mechanical properties, but due to its surface characteristics, cell attachment and, consequently, cell growth on this polymer are limited. In this study, we investigated the possible effect of H
