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

Thermo-sensitive gel exhibits great potential industrial application. It has been widely used in tissue repair, drug release and water purification for its property of phase transition in response to external stimuli, reusability and biocompatibility. In this study, a novel lignin-based thermo-sensitive gel was synthesized with alkali lignin by two steps. Firstly, phenolated lignin (PPAL) was synthesized with purified alkali lignin (PAL) catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Subsequently, thermo-sensitive gel was achieved by thermal polymerization of phenolated alkali lignin and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm). Furthermore, the prepared hydrogels were characterized in terms of thermal behavior, interior morphology and their swelling behavior. Compared with PAL-based gel, the obtained PPAL-based gel exhibits a higher crosslinking density and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) due to the increase of reaction site and smaller space volume of the hydrophobic side groups grafted on NIPAAm. TGA data revealed that thermal stability of gel was enhanced (50% weight loss at ~380 °C) by using lignin as precursor. SEM images showed that a more regular interior morphology, better compressive strength was also found (PPAL0.05, 11.15 KPa). Furthermore, the swelling ratio of PPAL-based gel was lower than that of PAL-based gel due to its more complex structure.
