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

Fast, reliable methods for characterizing the micelle-to-gel transition in emerging Pluronic F127/polysaccharide materials are essential for tailoring their applications as in situ gelling delivery systems. This study describes a simple fluorimetric method based on the response to gelation of the molecular probe thioflavin T (ThT). The techniques employed are (second derivative) steady-state and synchronous fluorescence. The capabilities of ThT as gelation reporter are tested for three model systems: Pluronic F127 (P16.6%), Pluronic F127/alginate (P16.6%ALG2%) and Pluronic F127/hyaluronic acid (P16.6%HA0.5%). We demonstrate that the changes in the short and long wavelength emissions of ThT allow accurate determination of the critical gelation temperatures in the investigated systems. The spectroscopic data providing information at molecular level are complemented with differential scanning microcalorimetric results revealing additional macroscopic insight into the micellization process. The gelation study is preceded by a solvatochromic analysis of ThT.
