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

Elastomeric, robust, and biocompatible hydrogels are rare, while the need for these types of biomaterials in biomedical-related uses remains high. Here, a new family of genetically engineered silk-elastin copolymers (SELPs) with encoded enzymatic crosslinking sites is developed for a new generation of stimuli-responsive yet robust hydrogels. Input into the designs is guided by simulation, and realized via genetic engineering strategies. The avoidance of gamma irradiation or chemical crosslinking during gel fabrication, in lieu of an enzymatic process, expands the versatility of these new gels for the incorporation of labile proteins and cells. In the present study, the new SELP hydrogels offers sequence dependent, reversible stimuli-responsive features. Their stiffness covers almost the full range of the elasticity of soft tissues. Further, physical modification of the silk domains provided a secondary control point to fine-tune mechanical stiffness while preserving stimuli-responsive features, with implications for a variety of biomedical materials and device needs.
