Antibacterial Hydrogels for Wound Dressing Applications: Current Status, Progress, Challenges, and Trends.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
Bacterial infection treatment for chronic wounds has posed a major medical threat and challenge. Bacteria at the wounded sites can compete with the immune system and subsequently invade live tissues, leading to more severe tissue damage. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for wound dressings with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Considering the concept of moist healing, hydrogels with a three-dimensional (3D) network structure are widely used as wound dressings due to their excellent hydrophilicity, water retention properties, and biocompatibility. Developing antibacterial hydrogels for the treatment of infected wounds has been receiving extensive attention recently. This article categorizes antibacterial hydrogels according to their materials and antibacterial modes, and introduces the recent findings and progress regarding their status. More importantly, with the development of emerging technologies, new therapies are utilized to prepare antibacterial hydrogels such as nanoenzymes, photothermal therapy (PTT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and other external stimuli-responsive methods. Therefore, this review also examines their progress, challenges, and future trends as wound dressings. In the following studies, there will still be a focus on antibacterial hydrogels that have a high performance, multi-functions, and intelligence, especially biocompatibility, a high and long-lasting antibacterial property, responsiveness, and on-demand therapeutic ability.
