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

Active wound dressings play a significant role in burn and chronic wound treatment. In this study, electrospinning process is used to fabricate a novel three-layer active wound dressing based on ε-polycaprolactone (PCL), polyvinylalcohol (PVA), and curcumin (CU) as a biologically active compound. The main purpose for developing such a system is to control wound exudates, which remains a challenge, as well as enjoying the anti-bacterial property. Electrospinning process parameters are optimized by response surface methodology to achieve appropriate nanofibrous electrospun mats, and then, a three-layer dressing has been designed in view of water absorbability, anti-bacterial, and biocompatibility characteristics of the final dressing. The results illustrate that a three-layer dressing based on PCL/curcumin containing PVA as a middle layer with optimized thickness which is placed over the incision, absorbs three times exudates in comparison with pristine dressing. Anti-bacterial tests reveal that the dressing containing 16% curcumin exhibits anti-bacterial activity without sacrificing the acceptable level of cell viability.
