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

Hyaluronic acid (HA), as a safe biomaterial with minimal immunogenicity, is being employed in a broad range of medical applications. Since unmodified HA has a high potential for biodegradation in the physiological condition, herein, an HA-based cross-linked hydrogel was formulated using polydimethylsiloxane-diglycidyl ether terminated (PDMS-DG) via epoxide-OH reaction. The formation of HA-PDMS hydrogel was confirmed using FTIR, NMR, and FESEM. Temperature demonstrated a critical role in the physicochemical properties of the final products. Gel-37, which formed at 37 °C, had a higher modification degree (MD) and more stability against hyaluronidase and oxidative stress than the hydrogel formulated at 25 °C (Gel-25). In addition, the swelling ratio, roughness, and porous network topology of Gel-25 and Gel-37 were different. The rheology measurement indicated that HA-PDMS hydrogel had a stable viscoelastic character. The hydrogel was also biocompatible, non-cytotoxic, and considerably stable during 7-months storage. Overall, various determined parameters confirmed that HA-PDMS hydrogel is worth using in different medical applications. Keywords: Hyaluronic acid; Polydimethylsiloxane-diglycidyl ether terminated; Hydrogels; Long-term stability; Viscoelastic behavior; Biocompatibility.
