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

The post-radiotherapy wounds are common in patients. The irradiation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, nucleic acid damage, and inflammation greatly hinder wound healing. The irradiation-induced immunosuppression may further cause bacterial infection. At present, few dressings are available for infected wounds after radiotherapy (IWAR). In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel for IWAR has been developed by combining a positively-charged antioxidant polymer with the natural product baicalin. This hydrogel can smartly release baicalin under IWAR-like microenvironment and possesses broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. It has effectively prevented irradiation-induced intracellular ROS and nucleic acid damage to protect fibroblasts for tissue repair. In mice treated with IWAR, this hydrogel has inhibited infection caused by drug-resistant
