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

Radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) is a prevalent complication following nuclear accidents and radiotherapy for tumors. The associated side effects may include erythema, desquamation, ulceration, and in severe cases, necrosis of certain skin tissues. These adverse reactions significantly impact the quality of life for patients and contribute to both psychological distress and economic burdens. However, there is currently no standardized protocol for the treatment and management of RISI. In comparison to traditional pharmaceuticals, the utilization of biomaterials in addressing radiation-induced diseases has garnered increasing attention due to their superior biocompatibility and outstanding functionality. Nevertheless, comprehensive reviews on this topic remain scarce. In this context, this paper systematically elucidates the pathogenesis of RISI, subsequently introducing the clinical manifestations and advancements in treatment for RISI. It emphasizes a comprehensive discussion on the design and innovation of novel biomaterials aimed at treating and protecting against RISI, while also illustrating the mechanisms by which multifunctional biomaterials enhance both treatment efficacy and protective measures for radiation-induced skin conditions. Finally, it addresses the challenges encountered by multifunctional biomaterials in managing radiation-related diseases and outlines potential directions for future research efforts. The objective of this review is to investigate the therapeutic and protective effects of multifunctional biomaterials in relation to radiation-induced skin injury, thereby providing significant reference value for the design and clinical application of innovative materials.
