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

Diabetic wounds present challenges in clinical management due to persistent inflammation caused by excessive exudate infiltration. Inspired by the gradient wettability of cactus thorn, this study has devised a biomimetic Janus nanofiber membrane as a water diode, which endows with gradient wettability and gradient pore size, offering sustainable unidirectional self-drainage and antibacterial properties for enhanced diabetic wound healing. The Janus membrane is fabricated by depositing a hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile/chlorin e6 layer with smaller pore sizes onto a hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) with larger pore sizes, thereby generating a vertical gradient in both wettability and pore structure. The incorporation of chlorin e6 in the upper layer enables the utilization of external light energy to generate heat for evaporation and produce reactive oxygen species, achieving a high sterilization efficiency of 99%. Meanwhile, the gradient structure of the Janus membrane facilitates continuous antigravity exudate drainage at a rate of 0.95 g cm
