Seeking Answers from Tradition: Facile Preparation of Durable Adhesive Hydrogel Using Natural Quercetin.
Article in iScience, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Adhesive hydrogels containing catechol moieties have many important applications, but the fabrication of effective long-lasting adhesive hydrogels remains a challenge because of oxidative damage. Inspired by the traditional use of quercetin in ancient China, here, we have developed a novel method, based on quercetin-assisted photoradical chemistry, to fabricate a durable adhesive hydrogel, Q-hydrogel. In the presence of light, quercetin generates quinone/semiquinone radicals, which subsequently interact with ammonium persulfate (APS) to produce a large amount of free radicals and initiate polymerization of the hydrogel. As-prepared Q-hydrogel showed good mechanical and adhesive properties, which were attributed to the inherent structural advantages of quercetin. Because of the resistance of quercetin to oxidation, as-prepared Q-hydrogel also showed good adhesive properties even after treatment with oxidizing agents. Capitalizing on its conductivity and adhesive properties, Q-hydrogel was successfully used to produce wearable sensors capable of detecting human motion.
