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

Advances in meticulous dural closure technique remain a great challenge for watertight dural closure in the aged society, because the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage after spinal surgery is often accompanied with the disgusting wound infection, meningitis and pseudomeningocele. Here, a tetra-poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogel sealant is developed with collective advantages of facile operation, high safety, quick set time, easy injectability, favorable mechanical strength and powerful tissue adhesion for effective sutureless dural closure during the surgery procedure. Impressively, this tetra-PEG sealant can instantaneously adhere to the irregular tissue surfaces even in a liquid environment, and effectively prevent or block off the intraoperative CSF leakage for sutureless dural closure and dura regeneration. Together, this sutureless tetra-PEG adhesive can be utilized as a very promising alternative for high-efficient watertight dural closure of the clinical patients who incidentally or deliberately undergo the durotomy during the spinal surgery.
