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

Glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone have shown promising therapeutic effects in conquering oral ulcers. Challenges in this area are focused on enhancing the localized curative effects and responsive release. Herein, we presented a novel MXene-integrated responsive hydrogel microneedle delivering dexamethasone to promote the healing of oral ulceration. By loading MXene, the hydrogel microneedles enable NIR (Near Infrared)-responsive release of the inner dexamethasone for inflammation control and tissue regeneration. In addition, the MXene-induced local hyperthermia could inhibit the bacteria, preventing the possible infection of ulcer lesions in the oral cavity. Based on these features, we demonstrated that our strategy could relieve local inflammation, promote tissue reconstruction, and accelerate wound healing in rat oral ulcer models. Overall, these NIR-responsive MXene-integrated hydrogel microneedles show significant promise in promoting ulcer healing and bring new ways for oral disease treatment.
