Assessment of the cutaneous wound healing efficiency of acidic, neutral and alkaline bacterial cellulose membrane in rat.

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.
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
Recent research was conducted to evaluate the healing efficiency of bacterial cellulose (BC) as a wound dressing in different pHs and its possibility of being a smart wound dressing that can indicate pHs. BC was produced by environmentally isolated bacterial strains. After washing the best achieved BC, it was floated in normal saline with different pHs with phenol red used as a pH indicator. Finally the wound healing effects of the acidic, neutral and alkaline BC membranes were evaluated in rat cutaneous wounds. Results showed that one of the isolates which its partial 16srRNA genome had 95% similarity with Gluconacetobacter intermedius, had the thickest layer. The microscopic and macroscopic evaluations showed that the acidic BC had the best healing activity. Although the color of the films remained unchanged during the experiments because they were transparent and thin, these changes could not be easily seen. This suggests the use of thicker films such as the ones which are cross linked with some materials (e.g., sterile gauze). In conclusion the pH can affect the healing ability of natural BC and acidic pH had the best wound healing efficiency. In future it is better to use the acidic BC instead of natural one for different wound healing purposes.
