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

The development of hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) holds a lot of potential to overcome important drawbacks of donor blood such as a short shelf life or the potential risk of infection. However, a crucial limitation of current HBOCs is the autoxidation of Hb into methemoglobin (metHb), which lacks oxygen-carrying capacity. Herein, we address this challenge by fabricating a Hb and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) composite (Hb@AuNCs) which preserves the exceptional features of both systems. Specifically, the Hb@AuNCs retain the oxygen-transporting properties of Hb, while the AuNCs provide antioxidant functionality as shown by their ability to catalytically deplete harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, these ROS-scavenging properties translate into antioxidant protection by minimizing the autoxidation of Hb into non-functional metHb. Furthermore, the AuNCs render Hb@AuNCs with auto-fluorescence properties which could potentially allow them to be monitored once administered into the body. Last but not least, these three features (
