Radiation Grafting of a Polymeric Prodrug onto Silicone Rubber for Potential Medical/Surgical Procedures.
Article in Polymers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Silicone rubber (SR) is a material used for medical procedures, with a common example of its application being in implants for cosmetic or plastic surgeries. It is also an essential component for the development of medical devices. SR was functionalized with the polymeric prodrug of poly(2-methacryloyloxy-benzoic acid) (poly(2MBA)) to render the analgesic anti-inflammatory drug salicylic acid by hydrolysis. The system was designed by functionalizing SR films (0.5 cm × 1 cm) with a direct grafting method, using gamma irradiation (
