Smart Healing for Wound Repair: Emerging Multifunctional Strategies in Personalized Regenerative Medicine and Their Relevance to Orthopedics.
Review in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
To address the challenges in wound healing, clinical management increasingly demands targeted, adaptive, responsive, and patient-centered strategies. This is especially true for wounds characterized by delayed healing and a high risk of infection. Advances in regenerative medicine and biomaterial technologies are fostering the development of multifunctional approaches that integrate tissue regeneration, antibacterial/antibiofilm activity, immunomodulation, and real-time monitoring. This paper surveys emerging platforms, including both natural and synthetic scaffolds, hydrogels enriched with platelet-derived growth factors, glycosaminoglycan mimetics, bioactive peptides (such as GHK-Cu and antimicrobial peptides), nanoscaffolds, and stimuli-responsive systems. The paper also explores cutting-edge technologies such as water-powered, electronics-free dressings that deliver localized electrical stimulation; biodegradable bioelectric sutures that produce self-sustained mechano-electrical signals; and sensory bandages that monitor pH, moisture, temperature, and bacterial contamination in real-time while enabling on-demand drug release with pro-regenerative, antibacterial, and other therapeutic functionalities. Further therapeutic approaches include natural matrices, exosomes, gene editing, 3D bioprinting, and AI-assisted design. Particular attention is paid to orthopedic applications and orthopedic implant infection. A brief section addresses the still unresolved challenge of articular cartilage regeneration. Interdisciplinary innovation, integrating insights from molecular biology through engineering, plays a central role in translating novel strategies into tailored, clinically effective wound management solutions.
