Biomass Hydrogel for Wound Dressings: Design, Functionalization and Application.
Review in Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany), 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
Biomass hydrogel-based wound dressings mark a pivotal evolution in wound care, transitioning from simple protective barriers to sophisticated, multifunctional therapeutic platforms capable of actively modulating the healing microenvironment. This review summarizes the current progress in raw material selection, structural and functional design, and application of biomass hydrogels for different types of wounds. Biomacromolecules (such as polysaccharides, proteins, and polyphenols) used for synthesizing hydrogels were almost derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms. This review critically evaluates advanced functionalization strategies, including chemical modifications by incorporating functional additives such as nanoparticles, bioactive peptides, polysaccharides, and essential oils, and the development of advanced structural designs of hydrogel dressings (e.g., layered, porous, and bio-inspired architectures), emphasizing how they can be tailored for specific wound healing applications. The synergy among materials, functional additives, and structural designs empowers hydrogel dressings with broad multifunctional capabilities, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in treating wounds, including burns, diabetic ulcers, and surgical injuries. Additionally, the emerging frontiers of smart and responsive hydrogels that respond to the microenvironment for on-demand therapeutic release are highlighted, concluding with a discussion of the critical challenges for clinical translation.
