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 wounds pose a substantial global health burden, due to the high incidence and recurrence rates, and associated morbidity. Excessive and sustained production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a hallmark of the chronic wound microenvironment, ultimately stalling the repair process. The pathological accumulation of ROS in chronic wounds has motivated the development of ROS-responsive drug delivery systems (DDS), which show considerable potential in improving wound healing outcomes. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the advances in ROS-responsive DDS for chronic wound healing, summarizing the design principles, material chemistry, and underlying ROS-triggered functional mechanisms. Key translational challenges are discussed, including material biocompatibility, stability in protease- and ROS-rich wound exudates, manufacturing scalability, and regulatory considerations. Finally, we outline future perspectives, emphasizing the integration of multi-responsive functionalities, real-time ROS monitoring, and advanced biomaterial engineering to accelerate clinical translation. By aligning therapeutic release with the dynamic redox status of chronic wounds, ROS-responsive DDS holds considerable potential to redefine precision therapy for wound management.
