Physically Crosslinked Chitosan/PVA Hydrogels Containing Honey and Allantoin with Long-Term Biocompatibility for Skin Wound Repair: An In Vitro and In Vivo Study.

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.
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
Chitosan/PVA hydrogel films crosslinked by the freeze-thaw method and containing honey and allantoin were prepared for application as wound dressing materials. The effects of the freeze-thaw process and the addition of honey and allantoin on the swelling, the gel content and the mechanical properties of the samples were evaluated. The physicochemical properties of the samples, with and without the freeze-thaw process, were compared using FTIR, DSC and XRD. The results showed that the freeze-thaw process can increase the crystallinity and thermal stability of chitosan/PVA films. The freeze-thaw process increased the gel content but did not have a significant effect on the tensile strength. The presence of honey reduced the swelling and the tensile strength of the hydrogels due to hydrogen bonding interactions with PVA and chitosan chains. Long-term cell culture experiments using normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) cells showed that the hydrogels maintained their biocompatibility, and the cells showed extended morphology on the surface of the hydrogels for more than 30 days. The presence of honey significantly increased the biocompatibility of the hydrogels. The release of allantoin from the hydrogel was studied and, according to the Korsmeyer-Peppas and Weibull models, the mechanism was mainly diffusional. The results for the antimicrobial activity against
