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

Application-oriented hydrogel properties can be obtained by modifying the synthesis conditions of the materials. The purpose of this study is to achieve customized properties for sensing applications of hydrogel membranes based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), HEMA and N,N-dimethylacrylamide, DMAa. Copolymer p(HEMA-co-DMAa) hydrogels were prepared by varying the DMAa monomer ratio from 0-100% in 20% increments. Hydrogel membranes were characterized by attenuated infrared spectroscopy. Swelling and sorption were evaluated using cation solutions. Copolymers were also synthesized on the gold surface of quartz crystal microbalances (QCM) as coating membranes. A proof of concept was conducted for approaching the design and development of QCM sensors based on P(DMAa-co-HEMA)-membranes. Results showed that the water and ion adsorption capacity of hydrogel membranes increased with higher DMAa content. Membranes are not selective to a specific location but did show different transport features with each cation. The QCM coated with the selected membrane presented linear relationships between resonance frequency and ions concentration in solution (10-120 ppm). As a consequence, hydrogel membranes obtained are promising for the development of future biosensing devices.
