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

Injectable hydrogels offer great potential to augment damaged or degenerated soft tissues. A key criterion for such gels is that their modulus is as close as possible to that of the target tissue. The majority of synthetic hydrogels have used low molecular weight polymer chains which may cause problems if they diffuse away from the injection site and/or increase the local osmotic pressure. We previously introduced a different approach of injecting preformed ultra-high molecular weight pH-responsive microgels (MGs) that interlink to form hydrogels. MGs are crosslinked polymer colloid particles that swell when the pH approaches the particle p
