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

Despite extensive investigations over the past decade, the chemical basis of the extraordinary underwater adhesion properties of polydopamine (PDA) has remained not entirely understood. The bulk of evidence points to PDA wet adhesion as a complex process based on film deposition, and growth in which primary amine groups, besides catechol moieties, play a central role. However, the detailed interplay of chemical interactions underlying the dynamics of film formation has not yet been elucidated. Herein, we report the results of a series of experiments showing that coating formation from dopamine at pH 9.0 in carbonate buffer: (a) Requires high dopamine concentrations (>1 mM); (b) is due to species produced in the early stages of dopamine autoxidation; (c) is accelerated by equimolar amounts of periodate causing fast conversion to the
