Is Hydrogel an Appropriate Bioadhesive Material for Sutureless Oral Wound Closure?
Article in Health science reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background and Aims: An effective surgical adhesive must possess strength, biodegradability, flexibility, non-toxicity, and the ability to accommodate to tissue movement. However, existing adhesives in the market lack some of these crucial properties. Both synthetic cyanoacrylate and natural fibrin glue have been explored for sutureless oral surgery, but they come with specific limitations. This perspective review aims to explore the novel potential of hydrogels as bioadhesives for wound closure in the oral cavity. Methods: This review thoroughly examines the properties, applications, and limitations of hydrogels as bioadhesive materials for wound closure within the human body. Results: We first provide a comprehensive description of materials used for sutureless oral surgery. Next, drawing on our expertise in the field of oral surgery, we propose novel potential applications for hydrogels in oral wound closure. We showed that Hydrogels represent promising bioadhesives in medical field and are undergoing continuous enhancement to expand their applications in wound closure. Conclusion: Although hydrogels have been utilized in various dental conditions, their potential for closing wounds in the oral cavity remains unexplored.
