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

Physiological microenvironments present a time-dependent variation during pathogenic or therapeutic processes, which call for life-like biomaterials of dynamic adaptation. However, current prevailed biomaterials maintain a passively responsive mode and lack autonomous and interactive dynamics. Striving for a paradigm of microenvironment interactive and self-regulatory medical agents as next-generation of biomaterials is of desperate need. Herein, we develop a microenvironment-feedback hydrogel as a living dressing biomaterial catering diabetic chronic wounds. This dynamic hydrogel leverages the initial alkaline pH of the wound bed as fuel and employs biocatalytic acid generation as the anti-fuel. By coupling this feedback loop to pH-regulated imine crosslinks, the hydrogel facilitates adaptive sol-gel cycling with programmable glucose oxidase (GOx) release in a Type-I diabetic mouse model. Thus, homeostatic wound pH and blood glucose levels are achieved, favoring accelerated in vivo wound healing and tissue repair.
