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

This article aims to be a progress report on the Sensing, Monitoring And Release of Therapeutics (SMART) bandage-one of the three technologies that received the inaugural SPIE Photonics West Translational Research Symposium Award in 2015. Invented and developed by Dr. Conor L. Evans and his research team at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, the SMART bandage is a tool aiming to provide measurements of physiological parameters in the skin alongside the administration of therapeutics on-demand. Since the project began in 2012, the chemists, physicists, and biomedical engineers in the team have worked closely with partners from academia and industry to develop oxygen-sensing SMART bandage prototypes that are now in first-in-human clinical studies. This report gives perspectives on the genesis and translational journey of the technology with an emphasis on the challenges encountered, and the solutions innovated at each stage of development.
