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

Poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) has been widely explored as a model material for articular cartilage (AC) in biotribological evaluations. However, PVA hydrogels prepared by freeze-thawing or cast-drying methods have limitations in precisely controlling their elasticity parameters and may require reinforcement to enhance their mechanical performance and change their transparency, required in some tribological measurement setups by using fluorescence methods. To overcome these issues, poly-(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) hydrogels have been introduced as alternatives. In our study, pHEMA hydrogels synthesized using free-radical polymerization with blue light under two different atmospheres (nitrogen N
