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

Wearable wound dressing is a promising approach for treating wound infection and promoting healing process. However, conventional wearable dressing methods have the drawback of poor long-term stability due to water loss. Herein, a novel hydrogel patch is fabricated by incorporating phosphoric acid and glycerol to enhance the water retention capacity. This hydrogel exhibits an excellent water retention rate of 97.7% after 7 days under ambient conditions (25 ℃, 50% relative humidity). Consequently, the stretchability, adhesion, and electrical conductivity required for wearable dressing are stably maintained. The antibiotic loaded into the dressing is effectively delivered via iontophoresis, which is demonstrated through in vitro drug release experiments, ex vivo porcine skin deposition tests, and in vivo mouse models. Therefore, this multi-functional hydrogel patch can be a promising strategy for developing an efficient drug delivery and wound healing platform using anti-drying conductive hydrogels and iontophoresis-based transdermal drug delivery.
