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

Injectable biomaterial-based treatment is a promising strategy to enhance tissue repair after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) by bridging cavity spaces. However, there are limited reports of injectable, electroconductive hydrogels with self-healing properties being employed for the treatment of traumatic SCI. Hence, a natural extracellular matrix (ECM) biopolymer (chondroitin sulphate and gelatin)-based hydrogel containing polypyrrole, which imparted electroconductive properties, is developed for traumatic SCI repair. The resulting hydrogels showed mechanical (~928 Pa) and conductive properties (4.49 mS/cm) similar to natural spinal cord tissues. Moreover, the hydrogels exhibited shear-thinning and self-healing abilities, which allows it to be effectively injected into the injury site and to fill the lesion cavity to accelerate the tissue repair of traumatic SCI.
