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

A ketene based Low molecular weight polymer (LMKP) having ester functional group was prepared using glycine through surface initiated anionic polymerization. NMR, ATR-FTIR & SEC were used to characterize the LMKP. The LMKP and acrylamide (AAm) were co-polymerised in methyl ethyl ketone to yield semi-IPN nanohydrogels (NHG). Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) was used as an initiator and N,N-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) as crosslinking agent. Formation of NHG was confirmed through frequency shift in LMKP and poly acrylamide (PAAm) in FTIR spectroscopy. Photon correlation spectroscopy reveals that the sizes of the NHG were in the range of 140-225 nm and Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) also confirms the nano dimension of NHG. Biocompatibility of the NHG was confirmed through the cytotoxicity analysis. The swelling and diffusion behaviour of NHG, prepared under various formulations, were evaluated. The swelling pattern of NHG was studied at different pH conditions. The drug delivery capacity of NHG was investigated using ciprofloxacin as a model drug. The drug release kinetics of NHG suggested their anomalous (non-fickian) behaviour.
