Thermosensitive Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane Hybrid Hydrogel Enhances the Antibacterial Efficiency of Erythromycin in Bacterial Keratitis.
Article in Biomaterials research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Bacterial keratitis is a serious ocular infection that can impair vision or even cause blindness. The clinical use of antibiotics is limited due to their low bioavailability and drug resistance. Hence, there is a need to develop a novel drug delivery system for this infectious disease. In this study, erythromycin (EM) was encapsulated into a bifunctional polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (BPOSS) with the backbone of the poly-PEG/PPG urethane (BPEP) hydrogel with the aim of improving the drug efficiency in treating bacterial keratitis. A comprehensive characterization of the BPEP hydrogel was performed, and its biocompatibility was assessed. Furthermore, we carried out the evaluation of the antimicrobial effect of the BPEP-EM hydrogel in
