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

Background: Patients with diabetic wounds often experience challenges in the repair process, owing to increased concentration of glucose and reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, high glucose levels usually result in bacterial infections, which in turn worsen wound healing. This study aims to develop a multifunctional hydrogel with integrated antibacterial activity, ROS scavenging, and glucose-responsive properties to accelerate healing of infected diabetic wounds. Methods: A Zn ion-incorporated injected hydrogel was prepared using 4-carboxyphenylboronic acid-modified gelatine, tannic acid, and zinc ions. The spectra were detected using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and surface morphologies of hydrogels were obtained using a scanning electron microscopy. The release behavior of Zn ions was investigated using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry instrument. To evaluate the antimicrobial properties of the GPT and GPT@Zn hydrogels, strains of Results: The results show that the hydrogels are injectable and have self-healing properties. Moreover, borate ester bonds are formed in the hydrogels, which are responsive to H Conclusions: This study provides a novel treatment strategy for diabetic wound healing by constructing Zn ion-incorporated injected hydrogels with reactive oxygen species and glucose-scavenging capacity.
