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

Purpose: Wound healing is a common chronic disease that has gradually become a significant healthcare burden. The therapeutic potential of natural products in modulating pathological wound healing mechanisms has attracted increasing attention in recent years. A new focus in the field of promoting wound healing has emerged through the study of the mechanism of action of herbs and their derivatives and the translation of the results. This study aims to analyze and summarize the current status, research trends, and hotspots in this field to provide reference and direction for future research. Methods: Literature related to wound healing and natural products in the Web of Science Core Collection was searched and collected. Bibliometric and visualization analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel 2021, bibliometric tools (VOSViewer, Citespace 6.3.R1, and bibliometrix R package), and R 4.3.2. Results: A total of 2394 publications were included in this study. The annual number of publications has increased in this field year by year. China is the most productive country. Egyptian Knowledge Bank is the most influential research organization in terms of research output. AKKOL EK and LEUNG PC are the most influential authors in this field. Conclusion: The study of the relationship between natural products and wound healing has a promising future, and translational research targeting natural products will be the focus of future chronic wound therapy research.
