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

Biofilm-associated infections stemming from medical devices are increasingly challenging to treat due to the spread of antibiotic resistance. In this study, we present a simple strategy that significantly enhances the antifouling performance of covalently crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and physically crosslinked agar hydrogels by incorporation of the fouling-resistant polymer zwitterion, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (pMPC). Dopamine polymerization was initiated during swelling of the hydrogels, which provided dopamine and pMPC an osmotic driving force into the hydrogel interior. Both PEG and agar hydrogels were synthesized over a broad range of storage moduli (1.7,1300 kPa), which remained statistically equivalent after being functionalized with pMPC and polydopamine (PDA). When challenged with fibrinogen, a model blood-clotting protein, the pMPC/PDA-functionalized PEG and agar hydrogels displayed a >90% reduction in protein adsorption compared to hydrogel controls. Further, greater than an order-of-magnitude reduction in
