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

An improved wound dressing with a long-term drug diffusion-efficacy has been developed by UV-radiation technique. It involves incorporation of ciprofloxacin (CIP), at the concentration of 0.5-2.0% (w/v), into a water mixture of 2-hydroxymethacrylate (HEMA) monomer, benzoin isobutyl ether (BIE) initiator and different content of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) cross-linker. Increasing the concentration of EGDMA would reduce the releasing ratio of CIP from pHEMA. T1/2 is increased from 2.64 to 45.67 h when the EGDMA is added from 1 to 8%. In the ranges of 0< or = F < or = 0.6, the n value of 1%CIP-pHEMA membranes is increased from 0.48 to 0.81. It indicates that the mechanism of drug release falls between the Fickian and Case II diffusion model. The antibacterial activity of the drug impregnated into the membrane was evaluated by in vitro drug kinetic agar plate method. Higher concentration of EGDMA, up to 8% of the cross-linker, extends the drug release. Comparison with the drug-soaked membranes, the newly synthesized 1% CIP-pHEMA membrane (cross-linked with 4% EGDMA) sustains the release of the entrapped drug and maintains the antibacterial activity up to 12 days.
