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

Hydrogel materials have gained considerable interest to be used as aids in the healing of chronic and traumatic wounds, in view of their tunable mechanical stability, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Here, we describe the development of a new injectable and antibacterial peptide-based hydrogel that is composed of only nine natural amino acids. By covalently merging a short antibacterial peptide sequence with a short hydrogelator peptide sequence, the biologically active sequence H-RWRWQFQFK-NH
