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

Collagen is well-known as an essential and structural protein in the body and is classified into many types, with different roles. Type I collagen is the most abundant, offering firmness, elasticity, and resistance to the skin. Starting from natural resources such as calf, American buffalo hide, turkey, and perch skin, this research aims to develop a comparative study between the porous matrices obtained from collagen, extracted in the form of gel, with potential medical use. The extracted collagen gels were analyzed for their proximate analysis. The structural conformation of the gels was confirmed using circular dichroism measurements. The extracted collagen gels were dried using a freeze dryer in the form of porous matrices, and structural analyses were performed using FT-IR. Further, the collagen scaffolds were assessed for biocompatibility using an XTT assay. The water swelling behavior, the morphology, and the thermal stability of the collagen matrices were determined. The collagen porous matrices presented good antimicrobial activity, especially COLL_P, which presented the highest inhibition zone, making them suitable for biomedical uses. Overall, this study provides a method for producing collagen matrices from various sources for biomedical applications.
