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

backgroundCarvedilol can be used in the treatment of rosacea. However, their oral administration often results in a series of adverse effects. PURPOSE: A novel thermosensitive hydrogel was developed to improve the administration of carvedilol in the treatment of rosacea and to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

methodsThe thermosensitive hydrogel was formulated using varying ratios of poloxamer 407 (P407) and poloxamer 188 (P188), with carvedilol being encapsulated during the process. The gel temperature and time of the hydrogel were observed, its phase transition was assessed through the inverted tube test, its microstructure was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and its characteristic functional groups were identified with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The hydrogel's therapeutic efficacy on a rosacea-like phenotype in mice was evaluated through in vitro experiments.

resultsIt is observed that the microstructure of the hydrogel possesses a porous structure, with pores uniformly arranged in a square lattice measuring 8-12 μm in diameter. Thermosensitive hydrogel encapsulated carvedilol (Car-P407
