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

This study presents the electrospinning fabrication of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofibrous scaffolds with two fiber architectures; randomly oriented and unidirectionally aligned incorporating olive oil and copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) to enhance biomedical performance. Both scaffold types exhibited robust antibacterial activity: randomly oriented TPU/CuO mats produced inhibition zones of 33.0 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 19.46 mm against Escherichia coli, whereas aligned mats showed a slight reduction to a 31.0 mm zone against S. aureus. Cytocompatibility assays using HFB4 fibroblasts demonstrated low cytotoxicity, with cell viability rates of 86% for randomly oriented fibers and 96.25% for aligned fibers. Whole-blood clotting tests confirmed rapid hemostatic action in both orientations, underscoring their capacity to promote blood coagulation. Collectively, these multifunctional TPU/CuO/olive oil nanofibrous membranes combine controlled fiber orientation with bioactive filler incorporation to deliver enhanced antimicrobial efficacy, superior cell compatibility, and effective hemostatic properties that position them as promising candidates for next-generation wound-healing dressings.
