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

As dressings for moist wound healing, hyaluronic acid hydrogels play a significant role in maintaining moisture and promoting wound healing. However, existing hydrogel dressings are inadequate in terms of slow gelation time, weak mechanical performance, and fast degradation, which increases the risk of secondary infections during treatment. Therefore, we developed a hyaluronic acid double network hydrogel (DNH). Compared to single-network hydrogels (hydrazone and Diels-Alder), DNH shows a short gelation time (25 s) and strong mechanical properties (Young's modulus = 82 kPa). These advantages enable DNH to immediately fill the irregular shape of the wound after gelation and remain intact after being squeezed. Swelling tests indicated that DNH had a suitable swelling ratio and maintained its structural integrity after swelling. We evaluated the use of DNH as a moist dressing for full-thickness wound healing in vivo. DNH-treated wounds healed faster, with enhanced blood vessel formation and macrophage polarization than gauze-treated wounds. These findings suggest that DNH not only accelerates wound healing but also improves tissue regeneration. Therefore, DNH may be a suitable moist dressing for wound healing.
