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 a sustainable approach for developing multifunctional hyaluronic acid-TMSPMA hydrogel films incorporated with banana stem-derived carbon dots (BCDs) via gamma radiation. The solvent-free radiation process enables sterile synthesis, homogeneous crosslinking, and uniform BCD distribution. FTIR and XPS confirmed oxygen- and nitrogen-rich functional groups on BCDs; TGA demonstrated excellent thermal stability. The nanocomposite films (HT series) exhibited improved structural integrity, enhanced thermal resistance, and smooth compact morphology. Cytocompatibility verified non-toxicity and biocompatibility. Surface and barrier analyses indicated increased hydrophilicity and reduced oxygen/moisture permeability. The films showed strong antioxidant performance exceeding 60% (DPPH) and 70% (ABTS) radical scavenging for HT3, and a controlled, diffusion-mediated BCD release. In banana packaging, the films delayed ethylene and CO
