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

Rapid hemostasis is a major challenge in surgery, especially for noncompressible wounds such as liver wounds. Conventional hemostatic products often fall short of achieving the desired level of hemostasis. The current study introduces Colisorb, a novel cross-linked gelatin-based sponge for controlling surgical bleeding. The Colisorb sponge is a superabsorbent, adhesive, biocompatible, biodegradable, mechanically stable gelatin-based sponge with superior swelling kinetics, which allows strong swelling capability up to 70× its weight, thus indicating strong capability for blood absorption. Electron microscopic examination shows that the sponge has an interconnected network structure with pore sizes of 100 to 300 μm. Colisorb sponge also exhibits higher porosity and tensile strength compared to commercial products. Additionally, the Colisorb sponge demonstrated rapid degradation in only 3 days.
