Easy-to-Apply Hydrogel Patch for Field Treatment and Monitoring of Equine Wounds.

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
The cicatrization process, which is critical to equine health, directly affects overall well-being by preventing infection, minimizing tissue damage, and restoring optimal function. Herein, we present a case of a 5-year-old sorrel mare with a torn skin wound on the dorsal aspect of the metatarsal region of the left hind limb, treated locally with an antibiotic-free transparent hydrogel-based patch while monitoring its healing process. The patch induced pink granulation tissue in the treated area after 42 days, while keloid formation was observed in the untreated area. Wound measurements showed a reduction over time with patch treatment, with complete healing achieved at 116 days. Capillary formation and a velvety appearance were observed on day 80. Histological analysis revealed mature granulation tissue, fibrocyte formation, abundant capillaries, organized collagen fibrils, and development of type III collagen in the treated area. Interestingly, no inflammatory response was observed during treatment. The hydrogel patch not only accelerated healing, but also controlled excessive granulation tissue formation. This treatment represents an innovative approach to equine wound management that updates applications for owners while reducing costs.
