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

Thermosensitive hydrogel, as a smart polymer material, showed great potential for application in the field of wound repair due to its unique external temperature responsiveness and excellent biocompatibility. Chitosan, a natural macromolecular polysaccharide derived from the deacetylation of chitin, possessed not only strong interactions with biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids, but also unique biocompatibility and degradability. Chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogels, prepared by compounding chitosan with surfactants, underwent sol-gel phase transitions at varying external temperatures, which provided an ideal healing environment for wounds. This comprehensive review was initiated by elucidating the sol-gel phase transformation mechanism underlying thermosensitive hydrogels and the intricate process of wound repair. In addition, this review provided a detailed overview of the prevalent types of chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogels, highlighting their unique characteristics and applications in different types of wound repair. Finally, the challenges and development directions of chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogels in wound repair were discussed, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for their future applications in wound healing.
