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

Wound healing is influenced by local temperature. Sunlight-induced heating elevates wound temperature, which in turn exacerbates inflammation and infection risks, ultimately delaying regeneration. Despite this critical challenge, current dressings lack any capability for thermal protection. We present a bilayer radiative cooling dressing designed for passive cooling, antibacterial, and antioxidative protection. The top radiative cooling layer is a polyvinyl alcohol matrix with silicon dioxide nanoparticles and eugenol, while the bottom layer contains C-phycocyanin, a natural antioxidant and antibacterial agent. This dressing achieved a solar reflectance of 0.92 (0.3-2.5 μm) and thermal emissivity of 0.92 (8-13 μm), allowing effective heat dissipation. Under outdoor conditions, it maintained surface temperatures up to 15.2 °C below ambient. In a murine full-thickness wound model exposed to simulated sunlight, the dressing suppressed excessive heating (<40 °C) and enhanced repair, achieving 90 ± 2% wound contraction, nearly twice that of a commercial adhesive bandage (47.97 ± 3.45%). These findings integrate passive radiative cooling with antioxidative and antibacterial agent delivery, offering thermal protection and accelerated regenerative healing under heat stress conditions.
