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

Dextran-based hydrogels are promising therapeutic materials for drug delivery, tissue regeneration devices, and cell therapy vectors, due to their high biocompatibility, along with their ability to protect and release active therapeutic agents. This report describes the synthesis, characterization, and application of a new dynamic covalent dextran hydrogel as an injectable depot for peptide vaccines. Dynamic covalent crosslinks based on double Michael addition of thiols to alkynones impart the dextran hydrogel with shear-thinning and self-healing capabilities, enabling hydrogel injection. These injectable, non-toxic hydrogels show adjuvant potential and have predictable sub-millimolar loading and release of the peptide antigen SIINFEKL, which after its release is able to activate T-cells, demonstrating that the hydrogels deliver peptides without modifying their immunogenicity. This work demonstrates the potential of dynamic covalent dextran hydrogels as a sustained-release material for the delivery of peptide vaccines.
