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

Background: The skin regulates body processes. When damaged, it is prone to breeding bacteria, causing inflammation and impeding wound healing. There is an urgent need for new dressings that can combat bacteria to aid in infectious wound repair. Methods: In this study, a curcumin-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel dressing (GelMA/AHA-Gel@Cur) with antibacterial properties and strong toughness was synthesized, designed to combine the modified gelatin-based hydrogel (GelMA/AHA) with curcumin-coated gelatin (Gel@Cur) nanoparticles to promote the healing of bacterial infection wounds. Under UV irradiation, methylacrylylated gelatin (GelMA) and aldehyaluronic acid (AHA) formed a composite network hydrogel through radical polymerization and Schiff base reaction. Meanwhile, the residual aldehyde group on the molecular chain of AHA securely locked Gel@Cur nanoparticles in the hydrogel network through Schiff base reaction. Results: The addition of Gel@Cur nanoparticles not only enhanced the hydrogel's mechanical strength but also facilitated a sustained, gradual release of curcumin, endowing the composite hydrogel with robust antimicrobial capabilities. In an animal model of infected wounds, the composite hydrogel significantly improved wound closure, healing, and vascularization compared to the control group. Hemocompatibility tests confirmed the hydrogel's safety, with a hemolysis ratio of just 0.45%. Histological evaluation following treatment with the composite hydrogel showed improved tissue architecture, increased collagen deposition, and regeneration of dermal gland structures. Conclusion: The GelMA/AHA-Gel@Cur composite hydrogel exhibits excellent mechanical properties, potent antimicrobial activity, and controlled drug release, along with superior cell and hemocompatibility. These characteristics make it a promising material for infected wound repair and a potential candidate for clinical skin regeneration applications.
