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

Viscoelastic properties of hydrogels are important for their application in science and industry. However, rheological assessment of soft hydrogel biomaterials is challenging due to their complex, rapid, and often time-dependent behaviors. Resonant acoustic rheometry (RAR) is a newly developed technique capable of inducing and measuring resonant surface waves in samples in a non-contact fashion. By applying RAR at high temporal resolution during thrombin-induced fibrin gelation and ultraviolet-initiated polyethylene glycol (PEG) polymerization, we observed distinct changes in both frequency and amplitude of the resonant surface waves as the materials changed over time. RAR detected a series of capillary-elastic, capillary-viscous, and visco-elastic transitions that are uniquely manifested as crossover of different types of surface waves in the temporally evolving materials. These results reveal the dynamic interplay of surface tension, viscosity, and elasticity that is controlled by the kinetics of polymerization and crosslinking during hydrogel formation. RAR overcomes many limitations of conventional rheological approaches by offering a new way to comprehensively and longitudinally characterize soft materials during dynamic processes.
