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

Hydrophobically modified poly(vinyl alcohol) (hm-PVA) films with various alkyl chain lengths were prepared. Their surface/mechanical properties, cytocompatibility, and porcine skin adhesion strength were evaluated. hm-PVAs had 10 °C higher glass transition temperature than poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) (33.4 ± 2.5 °C). The water contact angle of the hm-PVA films increased with alkyl chain length and/or hydrophobic group modification ratio. The tensile strength of the hm-PVA films decreased with increasing alkyl chain length and/or hydrophobic group modification ratio. hm-PVA with short chain lengths (4 mol % propanal-modified PVA; 4C3-PVA) had low cytotoxicity compared with long alkyl chain length hm-PVAs (4 mol % hexanal and nonanal-modified PVA; 4C6-PVA and 4C9-PVA). The 4C3-PVA film had the highest porcine skin adhesion strength. Thus, the 4C3-PVA film is promising as an adhesive for wearable medical devices.
