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

Herein, we propose an oxygen nanobubbles-embedded hydrogel (ONB-G) with carbopol for oxygenation of wounds to accelerate the wound healing process. We integrate carbopol, hydrogel, and dextran-based oxygen nanobubbles (ONBs) to prepare ONB-G where ONBs can hold and release oxygen to accelerate wound healing. Oxygen release tests showed that the proposed ONB-G could encapsulate oxygen in the hydrogels for up to 34 days; meanwhile, fluorescence studies indicated that the ONB-G could maintain high oxygen levels for up to 4 weeks. The effect of carbopol concentration on the oxygen release capacity and rheological features of the ONB-G were also investigated along with the sterility of ONB-G. HDFa cell-based studies were first conducted to evaluate the viability, proliferation, and revival of cells in hypoxia. Scratch assay and mRNA expression studies indicated the potential benefit for wound closure. Histological evaluation of tissues with a pig model with incision and punch wounds showed that treatment with ONB-G exhibited improved healing compared with hydrogel without ONBs or treated without the gel. Our studies show that dextran-shell ONBs embedded in a gel (ONB-G) have the potential to accelerate wound healing, given its oxygen-holding capacity and release properties.
