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

Hydrogels (HDs) offer a promising platform for localized and sustained drug delivery. In this study, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)-based hydrogels were crosslinked with genipin and evaluated for the controlled release and tissue retention of suramin, a polyanionic drug with anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic properties. The influence of crosslinking density (1%, 3%, and 5%) on drug release, permeation kinetics, and retention was investigated using in vitro synthetic membranes and reconstructed human epithelial tissue models. The 1% genipin HD exhibited the highest cumulative release and drug retention (48.8 ± 6.8 μg/cm
