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

Chronic wound healing is a complex pathological process driven by multiple factors, presenting a significant global healthcare challenge. It not only severely compromises patients' quality of life but also imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. In recent years, with deepening insights into the wound microenvironment, composite therapeutic strategies combining natural herbal medicines and their active components with modern biomaterials have offered novel approaches to overcoming refractory wounds caused by diabetic ulcers, vascular lesions, burns, and infections. This paper first outlines the biological foundations of normal wound healing, emphasizing the core mechanisms underlying chronic wound persistence-including persistent inflammatory responses, impaired tissue repair, and cellular dysfunction. Building upon this foundation, the article systematically reviews the existing therapeutic approaches (such as conventional debridement) before focusing on the classification and application of novel biomaterials. It further analyzes the synergistic therapeutic advantages of using materials as delivery systems for natural bioactive compounds. This combined approach enables targeted regulation of the chronic wound microenvironment, synergistically promoting cell proliferation and migration to accelerate healing. Deepening our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying chronic wounds, coupled with advanced biomaterial technologies, will propel clinical treatment toward more precise and efficient outcomes.
