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

A multifunctional polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film integrated with a Metronidazole.hydrogen-bonded organic framework (MET.HOF) encapsulating metronidazole was developed. The stability of MET.HOF is to temperature and pH-sensitive variations, leading to the controlled release of metronidazole under such conditions. Additionally, the incorporation of anthocyanin into the polymer matrix imparts the ability to detect ammonia, as anthocyanin exhibits color changes in response to pH fluctuations. Consequently, this film serves as a temperature/pH-responsive smart wound dressing. To assess the drug release behavior, the film's responsiveness was tested at different pH levels (5.5, 7.4, and 9) and temperatures (37 °C and 40 °C), conditions representative of wound environments. The results demonstrated that the polymer film effectively released metronidazole at temperatures above 37 °C and under alkaline pH, allowing for tailored drug delivery based on wound conditions. Anthocyanin functioned as a natural pH indicator, enabling the detection of ammonia produced at infected wound sites. The polymer's color change was quantitatively analyzed using RGB color detection software, with a minimum detectable concentration of 1.25 ± 0.07 mg L
