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

Oxanorbornadiene dicarboxylate (OND) reagents are potent Michael acceptors, the adducts of which undergo fragmentation by retro-Diels-Alder reaction at rates that vary with the substitution pattern on the OND moiety. Rapid conjugate addition between thiol-terminated tetravalent PEG and multivalent ONDs yielded self-supporting hydrogels within 1 min at physiological temperature and pH. Erosion of representative hydrogel formulations occurred with predictable and pH-independent rates on the order of minutes to weeks. These materials could be made non-degradable by epoxidation of the OND linkers without slowing gelation. Hydrogels prepared with OND linkers of equal valence had comparable physical properties, as determined by equilibrium swelling behavior, indicating similar internal network structure. Diffusion and release of entrained cargo varied with both the rate of degradation of PEG-OND hydrogels and the hydrodynamic radius of the entrained species. These results highlight the utility of OND linkers in the preparation of degradable network materials with potential applications in sustained release.
