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

Bacterial infections and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) severely impede wound healing. However, traditional hydrogels often lack the integrated antibacterial and antioxidant properties required for effective treatment. To overcome these limitations, a natural thioctic acid (TA)-based multifunctional composite hydrogel (PTA-Arg/SAS) was developed. Arginine (Arg) served as a green inducer for the aqueous ring-opening polymerization of TA. Concurrently, salicylic acid-grafted sericin (SAS) was introduced to inhibit poly(thioctic acid) (PTA) depolymerization via the formation of stable sulfur-aryl (S-Ar) bonds. The hydrogel exhibits self-healing capability, injectability, and robust tissue adhesion to porcine skin (1877 Pa dry; 1663 Pa wet). Furthermore, SAS endowed the system with potent antibacterial (99.1% against
