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

Hydrogels endure various dynamic stresses, demanding robust mechanical properties. Despite significant advancements, matching hydrogels' strength to biological tissues and plastics is often challenging without applying potentially harmful crosslinkers. Using hydrogen bonds as sacrificial bonds offers a promising strategy to produce tough, versatile hydrogels for biomedical and industrial applications. Poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA)/gelatin hydrogels were synthesized by thermally induced free-radical polymerization and crosslinked only by physical bonds, without adding any chemical crosslinker. The addition of gelatin increased the formation of hydrophobic domains in the structure of the hydrogels, which acted as permanent crosslinking points. The increase in PMA and gelatin contents generally led to a lower equilibrium water content (WC), higher thermal stability and better mechanical properties. The values of tensile strength and toughness reached up to 1.44 ± 0.17 MPa and 4.91 ± 0.51 MJ m
