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

Persistent inflammation and infection within a macerated microenvironment critically hinder skin wound healing. Here, we report an engineered to regulate liquid transport and promote wound repair. The composite consists of a hydrophobic top layer, a hydrophilic gel-forming middle layer, and two drug-loaded fibrous layers with tunable hydrophobicity. This gradient architecture from hydrophobic to hydrophilic layers integrates directional liquid transport, efficient water absorption, breathability, and mechanical robustness. The diode-like liquid transport behavior enables pH-responsive, dual-drug release, providing synergistic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Consequently, this design minimizes maceration while maintaining a moist, bioactive environment favorable for tissue regeneration. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirm the composite's pronounced antioxidant and hemostatic activities, along with its ability to markedly reduce infection and inflammation, thereby accelerating wound closure and promoting new tissue formation. This work presents a multifunctional therapeutic platform and highlights the significant clinical potential of this hierarchical composite for advanced wound management.
