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

High risk of acute morbidities and even mortality from expanding the antibiotics resistant infectious wounds force indefinite efforts for development of high performance wound-healing materials. Herein, we design a procedure to fabricate a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel to conjugate curcumin (Gel-H.P.Cur). The highlight of this work is to provide a favorite condition for capturing curcumin while protecting its structure and intensifying its activities because of the synchronization with HA. Accordingly, HA as a major component of dermis with a critical role in establishing skin health, could fortify the wound healing property as well as antibacterial activity of the hydrogel. Gel-H.P.Cur showed antibacterial properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), which were examined by bactericidal efficiency, disk diffusion, anti-biofilm, and pyocyanin production assays. The effects of Gel-H.P.Cur on the inhibition of quorum sensing (QS) regulatory genes that contribute to expanding bacteria in the injured place was also significant. In addition, Gel-H.P.Cur showed high potential to heal the cutaneous wounds on the mouse excisional wound model with repairing histopathological damages rapidly and without scar. Taken together, the results strongly support Gel-H.P.Cur as a multipotent biomaterial for medical applications regarding the treatment of chronic, infected, and dehiscent wounds.
