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

Postoperative peritoneal adhesions were frequent complications for almost any types of abdominal and pelvic surgery. This led to numerous medical problems and huge financial burden to the patients. Current anti-adhesion strategies focused mostly on physical barriers including films and hydrogels. However, they can only alleviate or reduce adhesions to certain level and their applying processes were far from ideal. This work reported the development of a biodegradable zwitterionic cream gel presenting a series of characters for an idea anti-adhesion material, including unique injectable yet malleable and self-supporting properties, which enabled an instant topical application, no curing, waiting or suturing, no hemostasis requirement, protein/cell resistance and biodegradability. The cream gel showed a major advancement in anti-adhesion efficacy by completely and reliably preventing a primary and a more severe recurrent adhesion in rat models.
