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.
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
Developing a self-elastic sponge integrating active and passive hemostatic mechanisms for the effective management of uncontrolled coagulopathic hemorrhage remains a challenge. We here developed a chitosan-based sponge by integrating freeze-drying, chemical decoration of alkyl chains and phosphate groups, and physical loading of thrombin. The sponge exhibited high mechanical strength, self-elasticity, and rapid shape recovery. The sponge facilitated blood cell adhesion, aggregation, and activation through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, as well as accelerated blood clotting. The sponge exhibited higher efficacy than commercial gauze and gelatin sponge in managing uncontrolled hemorrhage from heparinized rat tail amputation, liver superficial injury, and liver perforating wound models. In addition, the sponge exhibited favorable biodegradability and biocompatibility. These findings revealed that the developed sponge holds great potential as a novel hemostat for effectively managing uncontrolled coagulopathic hemorrhage from superficial and perforating wounds.
