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.
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
Bladder rupture repair surgery is limited by its long duration, significant blood loss, and complex procedures. Biological welding technology, which integrates multiple functions such as cutting, hemostasis, and tissue fusion, has shown potential in the field of soft tissue repair surgery but has not yet been widely explored in clinical applications for bladder rupture repair. This study used 32 adult male Beagle dogs to establish a bladder rupture model, randomly assigned to the biological welding group or the traditional suturing group. Outcomes assessed included surgical time, blood loss, postoperative inflammation, and hematuria. Histopathological analysis and RNA sequencing analysis were performed at multiple postoperative time points to evaluate the tissue recovery process and repair mechanisms. The results demonstrated that biological welding significantly reduced surgical time (21.80 ± 4.79 min vs. 75.15 ± 13.26 min, p < 0.001) and intraoperative blood loss (6.37 ± 0.89 g vs. 30.36 ± 6.59 g, p < 0.001) compared to traditional suturing. Postoperative complications, such as hematuria and inflammatory response, were notably lower in the biological welding group. Histopathological analysis revealed enhanced cell migration and tissue fusion in the biological welding group, leading to accelerated bladder healing and reduced adhesions. Transcriptomic sequencing indicated that biological welding activated a limited number of immune-related genes and signaling pathways in the early postoperative period, facilitating rapid repair and a shorter duration of abnormal gene expression. Our research indicates that biological welding technology demonstrates significant advantages in bladder rupture repair surgery, including enhanced surgical efficiency, reduced incidence of postoperative complications, and accelerated tissue healing process, with broad prospects for clinical application.
