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

There is a growing concern about wound care, since traditional dressings such as bandages and sutures can no longer meet existing needs. To address the demanding requirements, naturally occurring polymers have been extensively exploited for use in modern wound management. Polysaccharides, being the most abundant biopolymers, have some distinct characteristics, including biocompatibility and biodegradability, which render them ideal candidates for wound healing applications. Combining them with inorganic and organic moieties can produce effective multifunctional composites with the desired mechanical properties, high wound healing efficiencies and excellent antibacterial behavior. Recent research endeavors focus on the development of stimuli-responsive polysaccharide composites for biomedical applications. Polysaccharide composites, being sensitive to the local environment, such as changes of the solution temperature, pH, etc., can sense and react to the wound conditions, thus promoting an effective interaction with the wound. This review highlights the recent advances in stimuli-responsive polysaccharide hydrogels and their composites for use in wound healing applications. The synthetic approaches, physical, chemical, and biochemical properties as well as their function in wound healing will be discussed.
