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

Multidrug-resistant infections and impaired healing in chronic diabetic wounds are major clinical challenges. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising alternative, but its efficacy is limited by conventional photosensitizers. Here, we design two donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using a tetrazine core to narrow the band gap, which enhances visible-light-driven reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. These MOFs exhibit superior photocatalytic antibacterial activity over benchmark materials. After functionalization with L-arginine, the resulting composites (e.g., A@Zn-TDP) co-release ROS, nitric oxide (NO), and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) enabling rapid and broad-spectrum bacterial eradication (including against MRSA) at low concentrations (25 μg/mL) while accelerating tissue regeneration. In a male diabetic mouse model, A@Zn-TDP treatment under light reduces bacterial load by >95%, controls inflammation, promotes angiogenesis, and speeds up wound closure. This study establishes tetrazine-based D-A-D MOFs as a rationally designed platform for effective PDT and wound healing, underscoring their clinical translational potential.
