Biodegradable chitosan/PVA-based hydrogel incorporating green synthesized silver nanoparticles for wound healing applications.
Article in BMC chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Chronic wounds pose significant healthcare challenges globally. The need for more effective strategies for wound healing applications has led to the exploration of numerous emerging technologies. The current study investigates the wound-healing potential of green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Aloe Vera and green tea loaded on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan hydrogel. To this end, different hydrogel films incorporating various types of AgNPs were prepared. XRD, SEM, and EDX confirmed good integration of the crystallographic structure of the green synthesized nanomaterial and indicated smooth surface morphology of the films. The results of the biodegradability test showed that the Aloe Vera synthesized AgNPs hydrogel patch exhibited a high degradation rate with (22%) weight loss after 30 days. The results of in vitro antimicrobial testing and cytotoxicity assays revealed that Aloe Vera-synthesized AgNPs possess higher antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with high cell viability (82%). The in vitro release of AgNPs showed a gradual release of AgNPs with stabilization. The water vapor transmission rate was found to range between 1388.89 g/m2/day and a moisture content of 7.73%. The tensile stress and elongation at break were found to range between 69.14-67-13 MPa and 4.84%-4.34%, respectively, indicating significant mechanical properties of the films. Overall, the results proved that green synthesized AgNPs hydrogel patches, especially using Aloe Vera, provide the optimal properties for wound healing, combining good moisture utilization, stability, and holding potential as a biodegradable, antibacterial wound dressing.
