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

Recent observations that abiotic materials can engage in redox-based interactive communication motivates the search for new redox-active materials. Here we fabricated a hydrogel from a four-armed thiolated polyethylene glycol (PEG-SH) and the bacterial metabolite, pyocyanin (PYO). We show that: (i) the PYO-PEG hydrogel is reversibly redox-active; (ii) the molecular-switching and directed electron flow within this PYO-PEG hydrogel requires both a thermodynamic driving force (i.e., potential difference) and diffusible electron carriers that serve as nodes in a redox network; (iii) this redox-switching and electron flow is controlled by the redox network's topology; and (iv) the ability of the PYO-PEG hydrogel to "transmit" electrons to a second insoluble redox-active material (i.e., a catechol-PEG hydrogel) is context-dependent (i.e., dependent on thermodynamic driving forces and appropriate redox shuttles). These studies provide an experimental demonstration of important features of redox-communication and also suggest technological opportunities for the fabrication of interactive materials.
