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

Despite the advantages of hydrogels, such as softness and biological affinity, their applications are often severely limited by the inadequate mechanical properties that result from their loose and homogeneous structure. Here, we propose an enhanced hydrogel structure prepared via a universal freeze-assisted bidirectional ion migration strategy, yielding energy dissipating structures from the millimeter scale to the nanometer scale. A dense‒porous‒dense sandwich structure surrounds a mineralized physical crosslinking center, which allows stress to pass between the multilayers of the interlayers and the mineralized center under force, resulting in hydrogels with a strength of 33.51 MPa, an fracture energy of 286.39 kJ·m
