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

Despite decades of efforts, state-of-the-art synthetic burn dressings to treat partial-thickness burns are still far from ideal. Current dressings adhere to the wound and necessitate debridement. This work describes the first "supramolecular hybrid hydrogel (SHH)" burn dressing that is biocompatible, self-healable, and on-demand dissoluble for easy and trauma-free removal, prepared by a simple, fast, and scalable method. These SHHs leverage the interactions of a custom-designed cationic copolymer via host-guest chemistry with cucurbit[7]uril and electrostatic interactions with clay nanosheets coated with an anionic polymer to achieve enhanced mechanical properties and fast on-demand dissolution. The SHHs show high mechanical strength (>50 kPa), self-heal rapidly in ∼1 min, and dissolve quickly (4-6 min) using an amantadine hydrochloride (AH) solution that breaks the supramolecular interactions in the SHHs. Neither the SHHs nor the AH solution has any adverse effects on human dermal fibroblasts or epidermal keratinocytes
