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

Commercially available gelatin sponges are widely used in coagulation-dependent bleeding wounds due to its porous structure that concentrates blood cells, and coagulation factors. However, effective hemostasis cannot currently be achieved under coagulopathic conditions. In this study, we designed a procoagulant zein-polyphenol conjugate (ZC) nanoassemblies prepared using an anti-solvent strategy, were directly applied to the surface functionalization of commercially available gelatin sponges. Polyphenols give ZC coatings excellent adhesion and enhance the gelatin sponge's procoagulant properties. Leveraging their distinctive secondary structure, the optimized ZC nanoparticle-coated sponges demonstrated enhanced
