Antimicrobial Activity of Acidifying Hyaluronic Acid-Starch Microfiber Dressings Against Clinical Isolates from Chronic Wounds.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural biopolymer widely used in wound dressings for its supportive role in the healing process. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of microorganisms in chronic wounds and evaluated the antimicrobial activity of newly synthesized HA-Starch-based materials enriched with acidifying agents. Microbial isolates obtained from chronic wounds were tested for susceptibility using the agar diffusion method. The prepared materials exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against both reference strains and multidrug-resistant clinical isolates. Further characterization by scanning electron microscopy and elemental analysis confirmed uniform microfiber morphology and the expected elemental composition of the fibers. Cytotoxicity assessments performed using the xCELLigence system demonstrated the potential safety of developed materials. Overall, the results indicate that HA-Starch-based materials containing acidifying compounds exhibit strong in vitro antimicrobial activity against chronic-wound isolates, supporting their potential for further evaluation in wound care applications.
