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

Hyaluronic acid hydrogels are promising materials for diverse applications, yet their potential is hampered by limitations such as low self-healing efficiency and insufficient mechanical strength. Inspired by the heterogeneous structures of spider silk, we introduce a novel dual dynamically crosslinked network hydrogel. This hydrogel comprises an acylhydrazone-crosslinked network, utilizing aldehyde hyaluronic acid (AHA) and 3,3'-dithiobis (propionohydrazide) (DTP) as a first network, and a secondary network formed by hydrogen bonds-crosslinked network between tannic acid (TA) and silk fibroin (SF) with β-sheet formation. The hydrogel exhibits exceptional self-healing ability due to the dynamic and reversible nature of Schiff base bonds, disulfide bonds, and hydrogen bonds, achieving complete healing within 5 minutes. Additionally, the spider silk-inspired heterogeneous structures enhance mechanical properties. Furthermore, the incorporation of TA provides enhances adhesion, as well as remarkable antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This innovative hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel, inspired by spider silk, offers a promising avenue to fortify both the mechanical strength and self-healing capabilities of hydrogels, thus expanding opportunities for applications in tissue engineering and biomedicine.
