Recent advances in the development of hydrogel dressings for the treatment of pressure ulcers/injuries.
Review in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pressure ulcers, also known as pressure injuries, are common conditions that result from chronic bedrest. These ulcers significantly affect quality of life and substantially burden individuals and society with health costs. The prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers is a primary concern for health care professionals. Dressings play a crucial role in the treatment of pressure ulcers. Hydrogels are innovative safe materials that show great promise for clinical applications. Recent research has demonstrated the potential of hydrogel dressings to promote the healing of pressure ulcers and chronic wounds. This review aims to summarize the mechanisms and effects of hydrogel dressings and to discuss considerations for their use in patients with pressure injuries under different circumstances. Hydrogel dressings, especially loaded with unique cargo, may represent promising new options for the treatment of pressure ulcers. However, additional clinical studies are urgently needed to validate the efficacy and accessibility of hydrogels in clinical practice.
