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

Gelatin is an attractive hydrogel material because of its excellent biocompatibility and non-cytotoxicity, but poor mechanical properties of gelatin-based hydrogels become a big obstacle that limits their wide-spread application. To solve it, in this work, gelatin/cellulose nanocrystal composite hydrogels (Gel-TG-CNCs) were prepared using microbial transglutaminase (mTG) as the crosslinking catalyst and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as reinforcements. The physicochemical properties of the composite hydrogels were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The dynamic rheological measurement and uniaxial compression test were performed to study the effects of mTG and CNC contents on the storage modulus and breaking strength of the as-prepared Gel-TG-CNCs. Results showed that the addition of CNCs and mTG could significantly increase the storage modulus and breaking strength of gelatin-based hydrogels, especially when added simultaneously. The breaking strength of Gel-TG-CNCs (2%) at 25 °C can reach 1000 g which is 30 times greater than pure gelatin hydrogels. The biocompatibility of the composite hydrogels was also investigated by the MTT method with Hela cells, and the results demonstrated that the composite hydrogels maintained excellent biocompatibility. With a combination of good biocompatibility and mechanical properties, the as-prepared Gel-TG-CNCs showed potential application value in the biomedical field.
