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

Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing materials have attracted considerable interest for their potential in diverse biomedical applications. However, a persistent challenge is the leaching of NO donors from these materials, which leads to significantly reduced NO release durations and undesirable burst release effects. Herein, we demonstrate a novel hydrogen-bonding strategy to address NO donor leaching and the burst release of NO. A nitrosothiol-based NO hydrogel was developed by incorporating a SNAP analog bearing a 4-hydroxyphenethyl sidechain into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/PEG hydrogels. The hydrogel containing the structurally modified SNAP analog exhibited an elongation of over 300% and sustained NO release under physiological conditions. Hydrogen-bonding interactions contributed to the enhanced retention of the SNAP analog within the hydrogel network, extending donor retention to 144 h compared with the hydrogel containing unmodified SNAP (10 h). These NO-releasing hydrogels exhibited potent antibacterial activity against both
