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

Corneal neovascularization is a serious corneal pathological change caused by various factors. The drug delivery system is of great significance for the effective treatment of corneal neovascularization. Herein, we developed and characterized a monolith/hydrogel composite as the triamcinolone acetonide (TA) carrier for curing corneal neovascularization. The composite was prepared by photo-initiated free radical polymerization of multi-methacrylate substituted dodecamine organic molecular cage and post-modified by the sequential photo-initiated free radical polymerization of acrylated gelatin. The globular morphology and structural property of as-prepared composites were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and solid-state cross polarization magic angle spinning carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance. Then swelling ratio and the TA loading capacity were investigated then. Compared with gelatin hydrogel, the composites exhibited a decreased swelling ratio and an improved loading capacity. With good biocompatibility, the composite can sustainedly release TA for up to 28 days, and effectively inhibit corneal neovascularization with an alkali burn-induced corneal neovascularization model. Additionally, tandem mass tags-labeled quantitative proteomics were performed to identify differentially expressed proteins between vascularized and devascularized corneas. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis revealed that the inhibition process could be primarily linked to the fibrinolytic system. These results demonstrated the potential of monolith/hydrogel composites as delivery systems in the therapy for biomedical diseases.
