Nanostructured Polyacrylamide Hydrogels with Improved Mechanical Properties and Antimicrobial Behavior.
Article in Polymers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
This work proposes a simple method to obtain nanostructured hydrogels with improved mechanical characteristics and relevant antibacterial behavior for applications in articular cartilage regeneration and repair. Low amounts of silver-decorated carbon-nanotubes (Ag@CNTs) were used as reinforcing agents of the semi-interpenetrating polymer network, consisting of linear polyacrylamide (PAAm) embedded in a PAAm-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA) hydrogel. The rational design of the materials considered a specific purpose for each employed species: (1) the classical PAAm-MBA network provides the backbone of the materials; (2) the linear PAAm (i) aids the dispersion of the nanospecies, ensuring the systems' homogeneity and (ii) enhances the mechanical properties of the materials with regard to resilience at repeated compressions and ultimate compression stress, as shown by the specific mechanical tests; and (3) the Ag@CNTs (i) reinforce the materials, making them more robust, and (ii) imprint antimicrobial characteristics on the obtained scaffolds. The tests also showed that the obtained materials are stable, exhibiting little degradation after 4 weeks of incubation in phosphate-buffered saline. Furthermore, as revealed by micro-computed tomography, the morphometric features of the scaffolds are adequate for applications in the field of articular tissue regeneration and repair.
