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

Decades of advances in light-responsive host-guest supramolecular systems allow precise molecular switching and photoactivation, yet their in vivo use is severely limited by the weak tissue penetration of UV/visible light. Ionizing radiation such as γ-rays possesses outstanding deep-tissue penetration, which has been widely applied in clinical radiology and radiotherapy. Herein, we develop a γ-irradiation-regulated host-guest recognition system based on azobenzene derivatives and macrocyclic hosts (cyclodextrins and cucurbiturils). At a clinical dose of 2 Gy, γ-radiation triggers cis-to-trans isomerization of azobenzene and enables efficient molecular recognition with macrocycles. γ-Rays outperform blue light in inducing isomerization even through centimeter-thick porcine tissues, and the system exhibits excellent recyclability over ten irradiation cycles. Moreover, γ-ray-regulated ternary recognition realizes in situ hydrogelation, constructing double-network hydrogels with simultaneous mechanical reinforcement, stiffening and self-healing. The hydrogel achieves tensile strength of ∼23 MPa and toughness of ∼30 MJ m
