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

A straightforward and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing agar-reduced graphene oxide (ArGO) was devised. The topological features and emergent physical properties displayed by the novel carbon material were controlled by varying its water content. Dehydrated films of ArGO were found to be stable in water due to the π-π stacking interactions that formed between the aromatic components of its constituent sheets. In contrast, porous variants of ArGO afforded hydrogels that exhibited high swelling capacities. The intrinsic mechanical strength, elasticity and chemical stability of the hydrogels were further enhanced through adaption into double-network analogues. Such hydrogels, which were prepared using a facile and efficient one-pot methodology, exhibited a high fracture stress upon compression, and retained their shape in basic aqueous environments. These features can be expected to enable water purification and tissue engineering applications, among others.
