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

Intrauterine adhesions pose a significant challenge to female fertility, with current treatments showing limited efficacy and safety concerns, including poor biocompatibility and secondary trauma risks. In this work, we present a novel biodegradable bacterial nanocellulose (BC)-based physical barrier that integrates controlled drug release capabilities for preventing intrauterine adhesions. Through TEMPO-mediated oxidation and N-vinyl pyrrolidone grafting, we developed BC membranes exhibiting superior biocompatibility (cell death rate <5%) and selective fibroblast inhibition. The system achieves controlled biodegradation over 14 days while maintaining mechanical integrity (tensile strength >2.0 MPa) and providing sustained β-estradiol release. This approach represents a significant advancement in intrauterine adhesion prevention strategies.
