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

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries characterized by critical loss of skeletal muscle tissues result in severe functional impairment. Current treatments involving use of muscle grafts are limited by tissue availability and donor site morbidity. In this study, we designed and synthesized an implantable glycosaminoglycan-based hydrogel system consisting of thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA) and thiolated chondroitin sulfate (CS) cross-linked with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate to promote skeletal muscle regeneration of VML injuries in mice. The HA-CS hydrogels were optimized with suitable biophysical properties by fine-tuning degree of thiol group substitution to support C2C12 myoblast proliferation, myogenic differentiation and expression of myogenic markers MyoD, MyoG and MYH8. Furthermore,
