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

Injectable hydrogels based on synthetic peptides have shown great promise in many biomedical applications. Yet, the high cost generally associated with synthetic peptides hinders the practical use of such peptide-based injectable hydrogel. To overcome this drawback, here, we propose to use the peptides from hydrolyzed low-cost natural protein as an economical and convenient peptide source to prepare an injectable hydrogel. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this alternative strategy using hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) as an example. We used the peptide fragments from hydrolyzed HEWL as the gelator, and the magnesium ion as the performance enhancer to prepare the injectable hydrogel. We showed that the hydrogel is an amyloid gel as it was formed by a dense network of amyloid fibrils. We also showed that the hydrogel possesses a thixotropic property and displays a low cytotoxicity. The hydrolysis extent of HEWL was found to be a critical factor that influences the performance of the hydrogel. A fluorescence assay based on 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid was proposed as a mean to precisely and conveniently control the hydrolysis extent of HEWL to enable the best injectability performance. At last, using doxorubicin as a model compound, we explored the potential of this amyloid-based hydrogel as an injectable drug carrier.
