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

The thermoresponsive poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCl) based cryogel network were synthesized and characterized with respect to physical and biological properties. The PVCl cryogel crosslinked with polyethylene glycol-diacrylate (PEGda) was synthesized in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide containing aqueous medium at -12°C for 12-14 h. The cryogel synthesized in this manner were highly spongy in nature and can absorb water in its porous network. These polymeric cryogel networks have good physical morphology as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The estimated porosity of these cryogels was 90% as demonstrated by various methods based on absorption of water and cyclohexane. The median pore diameter and surface area was 30 μm and 2.0253 m(2)/g, respectively as confirmed by analysis on mercury porosimeter. These materials can interact with biological system without any cytotoxic effects. Change in temperature influenced the adsorption of fetal bovine serum (FBS) on PVCl scaffold which showed maximum protein adsorption at 37°C, as compared to that at 25°C. Furthermore, the fibroblast cell adhesion studies showed the potential of these PVCl based cryogels as tissue engineering scaffolds.
