Knot strength and antimicrobial evaluations of partially absorbable suture.
Article in Progress in biomaterials, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Partially absorbable suture is useful for orthopedic repair as it possesses the capacity to promote a balance between strength, degradation rate and minimal inflammation. Still, the availability of partially absorbable suture is scarce. So far, no study has examined the mechanical strength and anti-microbial properties of partially absorbable monofilament suture made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/polylactide (PLA)/chitosan (CHS); hence, the reason for this study with a view to improve knot strength, antimicrobial property and degradation rate. In this study, monofilament suture was extruded using different weight fractions of LDPE, PLA and CHS. In vitro degradation studies were carried out using phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Mechanical and morphological changes were also examined. A standard Fourier transform infrared spectral of 3433, 2909-2840, 1738, 1452, 1174, 1062, 706 cm
