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

Bioadhesive hydrogels play a crucial role in biomedical applications due to their capacity to adhere to biological surfaces. This study investigates a novel bioadhesive hydrogel system developed from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and ascorbic acid (AS), cross-linked through gamma irradiation at 7 kGy, and modified with 5 wt % tannic acid (TA). The primary objective was to enhance the hydrogel's bioadhesive, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties. Mechanical testing revealed that the (PVA/AS)/TA hydrogel exhibited significant improvements, with a lap shear strength of 92 kPa, a tensile strength of 0.57 MPa, and an elongation at break of 180%, compared to the unmodified variant. Antimicrobial efficacy was assessed against bacterial strains, including
