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 are recognized as effective drug delivery systems in medical and pharmaceutical applications. Among them, chitosan (CH) hydrogels stand out for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to release bioactive substances. This is especially promising for anti-inflammatory compounds since inflammation is associated with various diseases. Although effective, conventional anti-inflammatory drugs, when administered orally and over the long term, can cause side effects, stimulating the search for natural alternatives and safer release systems. Furthermore, in the search for natural bioactives, it is known that a source of biocompounds that is still little explored, despite its potential, is the marine sponge Dysidea robusta. The aim of this study was to develop and characterize chitosan-based hydrogels enriched with biocompounds derived from the marine sponge Dysidea robusta. Four chitosan hydrogel formulations were synthesized using varying concentrations of urease and urea, and their physical and morphological properties were evaluated using the mass loss test and techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and rheology. Seven biocompounds from the marine sponge Dysidea robusta (DR1 to DR7) were obtained and incorporated into a hydrogel formulation with optimal gelation time, stability, and presence of pores (H3). Drug release capacity was analyzed, as well as
