The evolution and future directions of pressure injury wound dressing research: a bibliometric analysis (2005-2025).
Article in Medicine, 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
backgroundThis research investigates advancements in "dressings for pressure injuries (PIs)" by analyzing literature from the Web of Science Core Collection spanning 2005 to 2025. The study aims to systematically map research trends in this field through bibliometric approaches.
methodsA bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to examine author collaborations, geographical distributions, keyword co-occurrence networks, and temporal evolution of research hotspots.
resultsThe evolutionary trajectory showed distinct phases: early studies (2005-2015) prioritized material characterization, while recent advances (2016-2025) focused on translating bioactive dressings into practice and integrating multidisciplinary approaches.
conclusionFuture efforts should prioritize bridging the innovation-clinical translation gap of smart wound dressings, deepening the micro-mechanistic exploration of dressing-wound microenvironment interactions, and strengthening cross-cluster knowledge integration across basic research, clinical practice, and interdisciplinary fields. These directions will drive the advancement of precision, intelligence, and standardization in pressure injury dressing care.
