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

Nitric oxide (NO) releasing polymers are promising in improving the biocompatibility of medical devices. Polyurethanes are commonly used to prepare/fabricate many devices (e.g., catheters); however, the transport properties of NO within different polyurethanes are less studied, creating a gap in the rational design of new NO releasing devices involving polyurethane materials. Herein, we study the diffusion and partitioning of NO in different biomedical polyurethanes via the time-lag method. The diffusion of NO is positively correlated with the PDMS content within the polyurethanes, which can be rationalized by effective media theory considering various microphase morphologies. Using catheters as a model device, the effect of these transport properties on the NO release profiles and the distribution around an asymmetric dual lumen catheter are simulated using finite element analysis and validated experimentally. This method can be readily applied in studying other NO release medical devices with different configurations.
