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 represent a substantial and growing clinical burden, yet durable healing remains difficult to achieve in a large proportion of patients. The skin microbiome plays a central role in this challenge: in healthy tissue, resident microorganisms support barrier integrity and calibrate immune responses, whereas in chronic wounds, community disruption-often combined with persistent biofilm formation-drives non-resolving inflammation, impairs re-epithelialisation, and increases antimicrobial tolerance. As antibiotic resistance escalates, these features strengthen the rationale for microbiome-directed strategies that target wound ecology while reducing reliance on conventional antimicrobials. Current evidence is still dominated by mechanistic and preclinical studies, with only early clinical signals for selected approaches; therefore, next-generation probiotics, including
