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

Bacterial infectious stomatitis (BIS), characterized by severe infections overlaying ulcers, poses complex therapeutic challenges and often results in prolonged healing, leading to significant patient discomfort. To address this clinical challenge, a biomimetic microneedle (MN) suction cup is designed inspired by the tarsal claw of Drosophila. The suction cup component is crafted from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, while the MN section, embedded within the suction cup, comprises a thermoresponsive and antibacterial composite hydrogel infused with the drug S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO). This innovative design not only ensures strong adhesion to moist surfaces but also provides substantial antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, controlled drug release, active promotion of concentric wound contraction, and enhanced vasodilation, thereby facilitating rapid and comprehensive healing of BIS. The multifunctionality of the MN suction cup patch developed in this study represents a significant innovation over traditional treatment methods and holds potential for widespread application in dental clinics.
