Boronate sol-gel method for one-step fabrication of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel coatings by simple cast- and dip-coating techniques.
Article in RSC advances, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The self-assembly of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and benzene-1,4-diboronic acid (DBA) is employed as a sol-gel method for one-step fabrication of hydrogel coatings with versatile functionalities. A mixture of PVA and DBA in aqueous ethanol is prepared as a coating agent. The long pot life of the mixture allows for the coating of a wide range of materials with hydrogel films by simple cast- and dip-coating techniques. The resultant films show negligible dissolution in water and the intrinsic hydrophilicity of PVA provides the films with functional properties, such as improved antifogging property and resistance to protein and cell fouling. The self-assembling process shows adaptive inclusion properties toward nanoscale materials, such as metal-organic coordination polymers and inorganic nanoparticles, affording composite films. Furthermore, the coating film exhibits a unique secondary functionalization reactivity toward boronic acid-appended fluorescent dyes, through which a variety of materials are converted into fluorescent materials.
