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

Hydrogel glucose sensors with boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity theoretically hold promise to improve in vivo continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) by facilitating long-lasting accuracy. However, these sensors generally degrade after implantation and the fluorescence intensity decreases immediately over time. Herein, we describe a hydrogel glucose sensor with in vivo stability based on boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity, integrating two antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase. These protected the arylboronic acid from being degraded by hydrogen peroxide in vitro and preserved the boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity of the hydrogel glucose sensors in rats for 28 days. These antioxidant enzymes also allowed the hydrogel glucose sensor attached to a homemade semi-implantable CGM device to trace blood glucose concentrations in rats for 5 h with the accuracy required for clinical settings. Hydrogel glucose sensors with boronic acid-based fluorescence intensity containing SOD and catalase could comprise a new strategy for in vivo CGM.
