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

Hemorrhages are still considered a common cause of death and despite the availability of different hemostatic agents it is still necessary to develop more effective hemostats for bleeding managements in emergency situations. Herein, large-pores mesoporous silica microspheres (MSM) were synthesized, and their surface was modified to enrich the hydroxyls population with the aim of achieving a material with enhanced water adsorption capacity and high hemostatic ability. The success of surface modification was investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which confirmed the increase in the amount of surface hydroxyl groups. A hemolysis assay as well as a clotting test were carried out to evaluate the hemocompatibility and hemostatic ability, respectively. It was found that the modified material presented the lowest hemolytic ratio and the lowest clotting time. The novelty of the paper is mainly due to the coupling of the hemostatic ability test with the adsorption microcalorimetry of water. In fact, being the water adsorption on the material surface a crucial factor in the hemostatic activity, microcalorimetry was used for the first time to study the adsorption of water and estimate its heat of adsorption. The data obtained showed that the modified MSM presents a surface able to adsorb a higher amount of water, compared to the pristine MSM, with a low molar heat of adsorption (about 35 kJ/mol), which renders the modified MSM presented in the present study an excellent candidate for producing novel hemostats.
