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

Different methods to create and manipulate pore sizes in hydrogel fabrication are available, but systematic studies are normally conducted with hydrogels made of synthetic chemical compounds as backbones. In this study, a hydrogel made of natural and abundant protein in combination with different, well-available techniques was used to produce different architectures within the hydrogel matrix. Pore sizes and distribution are compared and resulting hydrogel properties like swelling ratio, resistance towards external stimuli and enzymatic degradation were investigated. Porous hydrogels were functionalized and two cancer cell lines were successfully adhered onto the material. With simple methods, pores with a radius between 10 and 80 μm and channels of 25 μm radius with a length of several hundreds of μm could be created and analyzed with laser scanning confocal microscopy and electron microscopy respectively. Furthermore, the influence of different methods on swelling ratio, enzymatic degradation and pH and temperature resistance was observed.
