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

Here, we present a one-pot procedure for the preparation of hyaluronic acid (HA) sulfonated hydrogels in aqueous alkaline medium. The HA hydrogels were crosslinked using 1,4-butanedioldiglycidyl ether (BDDE) alone, or together with N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (Bes), as a safe sulfonating agent. Conditions for the simultaneous reaction of HA with BDDE and Bes were optimized and the resulting hydrogels were characterized under different reaction times (24, 72, and 96 h). The incorporation of sulfonic groups into the HA network was proven by elemental analysis and FTIR spectroscopy and its effect on water uptake was evaluated. Compared with the non-sulfonated sample, sulfonated gels showed improved mechanical properties, with their compressive modulus increased from 15 to 70 kPa, higher stability towards hyaluronidase, and better biocompatibility to 10T1/2 fibroblasts, especially after the absorption of collagen. As main advantages, the procedure described represents an easy and reproducible methodology for the fabrication of sulfonated hydrogels, which does not require toxic chemicals and/or solvents.
