The Role of Communication in Managing Chronic Lower Limb Wounds.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 of the lower limbs present a significant global healthcare challenge, requiring interdisciplinary management and patient adherence to treatment protocols. Effective communication plays a pivotal role in ensuring optimal outcomes, fostering patient engagement, and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. This review article explores the role of communication in managing chronic wounds of the lower limbs, highlighting its impact on patient education, adherence, early detection, emotional support, and healthcare coordination. It synthesizes the most updated literature on the subject, identifying best practices and potential areas for improvement. The review also examines technological advancements in communication, such as telemedicine and mobile health applications, that facilitate wound care management. Additionally, challenges and potential solutions related to communication barriers are discussed. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into communication strategies that can be implemented globally to enhance wound care outcomes. Further, it explores the role of culture, socioeconomic factors, and health literacy in shaping effective communication strategies. Finally, ethical and policy implications are addressed, offering a holistic understanding of the broader impact of communication on chronic wound management. Effective communication is not only essential in clinical settings but also within public health frameworks, influencing health literacy campaigns, wound prevention strategies, and patient advocacy efforts. The integration of culturally competent communication practices, consideration of social determinants of health, and the use of artificial intelligence in patient-provider interactions further shape the effectiveness of communication in chronic wound care. This review provides a foundation for future research on how evolving communication methodologies can further enhance patient outcomes and reduce disparities in wound care management worldwide.
