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: Slow healing of skin wounds is a major health problem affecting millions of people each year, and traditional dressings have limited effectiveness in treating them. Gallic acid has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties, and combined with nanotechnology can improve its solubility and provide new directions for wound treatment. Methods: In this study, Gallic acid nanocrystals (GC-NCs) were prepared by a "top-down" method, and GC-NCs were combined with a polyacrylic acid matrix to form Gallic acid nanocrystal hydrogel (GC-NCs-Gel) by co-gelation. The micromorphology, mechanical properties, adhesion properties and bioactivity of GC-NCs-Gel were tested. Finally, the ability of GC-NCs-Gel to promote wound healing and inhibit scar formation was evaluated in a rat whole skin defect model. Results: The average particle size of GC-NCs was 348.20 ± 1.42 nm, and GC-NCs-Gel had a honeycomb porous structure with excellent swelling properties (963%), water vapor transmission rate (2400 g/m Conclusion: In this study, a GC-NCs-Gel with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial as well as antioxidant and wound tissue adhesion was prepared. This multi-functional hydrogel has significant advantages in wound healing, and is expected to provide a new and effective means of wound treatment in the clinic.
