Antimicrobial Shape Memory Polymer Hydrogels for Chronic Wound Dressings.
Article in ACS applied bio materials, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Chronic wounds can remain open for several months and have high risks of amputation due to infection. Dressing materials to treat chronic wounds should be conformable for irregular wound geometries, maintain a moist wound bed, and reduce infection risks. To that end, we developed cytocompatible shape memory polyurethane-based poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels that allow facile delivery to the wound site. Plant-based phenolic acids were physically incorporated onto the hydrogel scaffolds to provide antimicrobial properties. These materials were tested to confirm their shape memory properties, cytocompatibility, and antibacterial properties. The incorporation of phenolic acids provides a new mechanism for tuning intermolecular bonding in the hydrogels and corollary mechanical and shape memory properties. Phenolic acid-containing hydrogels demonstrated an increased shape recovery ratio (1.35× higher than the control formulation), and materials with cytocompatibility >90% were identified. Antimicrobial properties were retained over 20 days in hydrogels with higher phenolic acid content. Phenolic acid retention and antimicrobial efficacy were dependent upon phenolic acid structures and interactions with the polymer backbone. This novel hydrogel system provides a platform for future development as a chronic wound dressing material that is easy to implant and reduces infection risks.
