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

Although many tissue adhesives with good biocompatibility are currently available, their lack of wet adhesion capacity significantly hinders their clinical application. Therefore, further development and exploration of new medical adhesives are necessary. Inspired by the adhesion mechanism of marine mussels, through modifying gelatin protein with gallic acid (GA) for wet adhesion and cross-linking gelatin (Gel) molecular chains with tea polyphenols (TP), the adhesive TP-GA/Gel was developed. The adhesive exhibited an adhesion strength of up to 130.47 kPa to porcine skin tissues and maintained a high adhesion state in various aqueous environments, demonstrating excellent and reproducible adhesion. Additionally, TP-GA/Gel possessed outstanding antimicrobial, antioxidant, and biocompatibility properties. In an in vivo wound healing study with SD rats, the wound area treated with TP-GA/Gel adhesive decreased from 10.3 mm
