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

Water-soluble β-cyclodextrin-epichlorohydrin polymers (CDPs) are widely used in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Herein, we report a novel β-cyclodextrin-epichlorohydrin-cyanoguanidine polymer (CDPC) for resveratrol (RES) delivery in cartilage repair. Cyanoguanidine (CyG), a nitrogen-rich compound remaining nonprotonated at physiological pH, was incorporated at varying CyG/β-CD ratios to modulate the polymer properties. Structural characterization was performed by NMR, FT-IR, and CHN analyses. Compared with CDP, CDPC exhibited enhanced RES encapsulation that was attributed to additional intramolecular interactions. Dynamic light scattering revealed nanosized complexes (18 nm for CDPC/RES vs 4 nm for CDP/RES) with a near-neutral surface charge. CDPC showed intrinsic antioxidant activity, which was further enhanced upon RES loading. Both CDP and CDPC were cytocompatible and were efficiently internalized by human chondrocytes. Moreover, the CDP/RES and CDPC/RES systems improved the chondrocyte metabolic activity and extracellular matrix deposition, highlighting their potential as promising carriers for cartilage repair and regeneration.
