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

More and more studies have recognized that the nanosized pores of hydrogels are too small for cells to normally grow and newly formed tissue to infiltrate, which impedes tissue regeneration. Recently, hydrogels with macropores and/or controlled degradation attract more and more attention for solving this problem. Sodium alginate/Bioglass (SA/BG) hydrogel, which has been reported to be an injectable and bioactive hydrogel, is also limited to be used as tissue engineering scaffolds due to its nanosized pores. Therefore, in this study, degradation of SA/BG hydrogel was modulated by grafting deferoxamine (DFO) to SA. The functionalized grafted DFO-SA (G-DFO-SA) was used to form G-DFO-SA/BG injectable hydrogel. In vitro degradation experiments proved that, compared to SA/BG hydrogel, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel had a faster mass loss and structural disintegration. When the hydrogels were implanted subcutaneously, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel possessed a faster degradation and better tissue infiltration as compared to SA/BG hydrogel. In addition, in a rat full-thickness skin defect model, wound healing studies showed that, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing process by inducing more blood vessels formation. Therefore, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel can promote tissue infiltration and stimulate angiogenesis formation, which suggesting a promising application potential in tissue regeneration.
