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

Stem cell-laden hydrogel patches are promising candidates to treat chronic ulcers due to cells' long-lasting and dynamic responses to wound microenvironment. However, their clinical translations are prohibited by the cryopreservation difficulty due to their weak mechanical strength and slow biotransport capability, and by the morphological mismatch between clinical ulcers and pre-fabricated patches. Here we report a stem cell-laden alginate-dopamine hydrogel patch that can be readily cryopreserved, processed, and scaled toward clinical usages. This cell-hydrogel patch not only maintains cell viability and structure integrity during cryopreservation, but also can be directly utilized without centrifugation or incubation post cryopreservation. In addition, this tissue-adhesive hydrogel patch enables close wound contact and fast cellular response, and its scalable and flexible structure enables assembly for large or irregularly shaped ulcers. Therefore, it accelerates ulcer healing and reduces scar formation
