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

Aqueous solutions of poloxamer 407 (P407), a commercially available and nontoxic ABA triblock polymer (PEO-PPO-PEO), undergo a solution-to-gel transition with increasing temperature and are promising candidates for injectable therapeutics. The gel transition temperature, modulus, and structure are all dictated by polymer concentration, preventing independent tuning of these properties. Here, we show that addition of BAB reverse poloxamers (RPs) to P407-based solutions dramatically alters the gelation temperature, modulus, and morphology. Gelation temperature and RP localization within the hydrogel are dictated by RP solubility. Highly soluble RPs increase gelation temperature and incorporate primarily into the micelle corona regions. Alternatively, RPs with low aqueous solubility decrease gelation temperature and associate within the micelle core and core-corona interface. These differences in RP localization have significant implications for the hydrogel modulus and microstructure. The ability to tune gelation temperature, modulus, and structure through RP addition allows for the design of thermoresponsive materials with specific properties that are unobtainable with neat P407-based hydrogels.
