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

Many hydrogels respond to external stimuli such as changes in temperature, pH, or salt concentrations by changing their degree of swelling, and hence mechanical properties, rendering them attractive actuators. Unfortunately, response rates of many of these hydrogels are limited because they rely on the diffusion of water, which is relatively slow within the gel. Here, we introduce thermo-responsive granular hydrogels which combine accelerated response rates with load-bearing properties. To accelerate the response to temperature changes, we formulate poly(
