Evaluation of the antibacterial properties of four bioactive biomaterials for chronic wound management.
Article in Future microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
aimChronic wound infections present a prevalent medical issue and a multifaceted problem that significantly impacts healthcare systems worldwide. Biofilms formed by pathogenic bacteria are fundamental virulence factors implicated in the complexity and persistence of bacterial-associated wound infections, leading to prolonged recovery times and increased risk of infection. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial effectiveness of commonly employed bioactive wound healing compositions with a particular emphasis on their effectiveness against common bacterial pathogens encountered in chronic wounds -
methodsThis study tested the antibacterial and antibiofilm effectiveness of four bioactive wound healing materials by performing in vitro antibacterial assays and measuring ion release profiles.
resultsThe anti-biofilm effectiveness differed extensively among the biomaterials tested and slightly among the bacterial species. Particularly, copper and zinc-doped borate bioactive glass wound healing compositions inhibited the three clinically relevant bacteria in both planktonic and biofilm forms, which were found to be ascribed to the copper and zinc gradual release.
conclusionThe findings suggest that copper and zinc-doped bioactive glasses hold great promise for improving chronic wound management by providing strong antibacterial action and promoting faster healing.
