Strategies for Incorporating Natural Therapeutic Agents into Hydrogel Dressings: Innovations in Wound Healing.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Effective wound management demands novel therapeutic strategies that overcome the limitations of medication by reducing inflammation, preventing infection, and accelerating tissue regeneration. The present review provides an extensive examination of natural therapeutic agents incorporated into polymeric hydrogels for wound healing purposes. Significant focus has been paid towards extraction techniques that validate the standardization, purity, and biological efficacy of natural compounds, alongside several principal incorporation strategies: direct mixing, in situ incorporation, post-loading, and nano/microencapsulation, aimed at optimizing the stability of bioactive molecules within hydrogel matrices. Representative in vitro and in vivo studies are summarized to highlight the bioactive and therapeutic effects of hybrid systems based on polymeric hydrogels. Collectively, reported evidence indicates that natural-extract-loaded hydrogels accelerate wound healing through multiple complementary mechanisms, including inflammation modulation, antimicrobial protection, moisture balance, and enhanced tissue regeneration. Furthermore, synergistic mixtures of bioactive compounds have demonstrated enhanced antimicrobial and regenerative efficacy compared to single-component formulations. Overall, bioactive hydrogels incorporating standardized or nano-encapsulated natural extracts represent a new generation of multifunctional, non-pharmaceutic wound dressings that provide excellent biocompatibility and enhanced tissue regeneration in both acute and chronic wound healing.
