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

Self-healing biomaterials have attracted significant attention due to their ability to restore structural integrity, extend material lifetime, and reduce maintenance costs without external intervention. In this study, Polyvinyl Alcohol/Graphene Oxide/Eggshell Particle (PVA/GO/ESP) composite hydrogels were synthesized via a freeze-thawing method and characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS, and FTIR analyses. The effect of ESP incorporation on the self-healing and mechanical properties of the hydrogels was systematically investigated. Tensile test results demonstrated that incorporation of 1 wt% ESP improved the tensile strength up to 0.326 MPa while maintaining high strain capacity. Healing efficiency values calculated from recovered tensile strength showed approximately 69%, 47%, and 67% recovery for PVA/GO, PVA/GO/ESP (0.5%), and PVA/GO/ESP (1%) hydrogels, respectively. The developed hydrogels demonstrated rapid self-healing behavior at room temperature without external stimuli. These findings suggest that ESP-reinforced PVA/GO hydrogels may serve as promising candidates for future biomaterial and soft tissue engineering studies. The developed hydrogels demonstrated enhanced tensile strength, rapid self-healing behavior, and promising swelling properties, indicating their potential use in soft tissue engineering and biomaterial applications.
