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 are characterized by unsatisfactory clinical outcomes due to persistent inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and impaired neurovascular function, which conventional dressings cannot adequately address. This study presents a promising strategy for sequentially reversing these multifactorial wound conditions. We engineered a sprayable Mg-ZIF-8@TP@Alg hydrogel by integrating a Mg-Zn bimetallic metal-organic framework (Mg-ZIF-8) with tea polyphenol (TP), achieving differential release and pH-responsive therapeutic kinetics. In vitro assays demonstrated that Mg-ZIF-8@TP exerted synergistic ROS-scavenging activity, promoted M2 macrophage polarization, and enhanced angiogenic and neurogenic outcomes. These effects are attributed to TP-mediated attenuation of oxidative stress, together with activation of Mg2+/Zn2+-driven cellular behaviors. In a clinically relevant porcine model, the Mg-ZIF-8@TP@Alg hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing. It sequentially remodelled the immune microenvironment by decreasing pro-inflammatory iNOS+ cells and increasing reparative CD163+ macrophages. Moreover, it enhanced CD31+ vascular neogenesis and β3-tubulin+ peripheral nerve regeneration. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the hydrogel orchestrated chronic wound repair by modulating key pathways associated with ion transport, immune response suppression, and skin development. Overall, this work presents an innovative sprayable Mg-MOF hydrogel with synergistic, stage-specific therapeutic functionality, offering a potential strategy for chronic wound management.
