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 biomedical applications is a transdisciplinary field that in recent years has involved researchers from chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, biology, biophysics, and biomechanical engineering. The fabrication of biomedical devices requires the use of biocompatible materials that do not damage living tissues and have some biomechanical characteristics. The use of polymeric membranes, as materials meeting the above-mentioned requirements, has become increasingly popular in recent years, with outstanding results in tissue engineering, for regeneration and replenishment of tissues constituting internal organs, in wound healing dressings, and in the realization of systems for diagnosis and therapy, through the controlled release of active substances. The biomedical application of hydrogel membranes has had little uptake in the past due to the toxicity of cross-linking agents and to the existing limitations regarding gelation under physiological conditions, but now it is proving to be a very promising field This review presents the important technological innovations that the use of membrane hydrogels has promoted, enabling the resolution of recurrent clinical problems, such as post-transplant rejection crises, haemorrhagic crises due to the adhesion of proteins, bacteria, and platelets on biomedical devices in contact with blood, and poor compliance of patients undergoing long-term drug therapies.
