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

Hydrogels are crosslinked hydrophilic polymer networks of high-water content. Although they have been widely investigated, preparing hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility remains a challenge. In the present work, we developed a novel GelMA/κ-carrageenan (GelMA/KC) double network (DN) hydrogel through a dual crosslinking strategy. The three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of KC is the first network, and covalently crosslinked on the κ-carrageenan backbone is the second network. The GelMA/KC hydrogel shows advantages in physical properties, including higher compression strength (10% GelMA/1% KC group, 130 kPa) and Young's modulus (10% GelMA/1% KC group, 300), suggesting its excellent elasticity and compressive capability. When using a higher concentration of GelMA, the hybrid hydrogel has even higher mechanical properties. In addition, the GelMA/KC hydrogel is favorable for cell spreading and proliferation, demonstrating its excellent biocompatibility. This study provides a new possibility for a biodegradable and high-strength hydrogel as a new generation material of orthopedic implants.
