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

Corneal transplantation is an effective clinical treatment for corneal diseases, which, however, is limited by donor corneas. It is of great clinical value to develop bioadhesive corneal patches with functions of "Transparency" and "Epithelium & Stroma generation", as well as "Suturelessness" and "Toughness". To simultaneously meet the "T.E.S.T." requirements, a light-curable hydrogel is designed based on methacryloylated gelatin (GelMA), Pluronic F127 diacrylate (F127DA) & Aldehyded Pluronic F127 (AF127) co-assembled bi-functional micelles and collagen type I (COL I), combined with clinically applied corneal cross-linking (CXL) technology for repairing damaged cornea. The patch formed after 5 min of ultraviolet irradiation possesses transparent, highly tough, and strongly bio-adhesive performance. Multiple cross-linking makes the patch withstand deformation near 600% and exhibit a burst pressure larger than 400 mmHg, significantly higher than normal intraocular pressure (10-21 mmHg). Besides, the slower degradation than GelMA-F127DA&AF127 hydrogel without COL I makes hydrogel patch stable on stromal beds
