Cellulose-Based Hydrogels for Chronic Wound Healing: Bridging Biomaterial Design and Clinical Unmet Needs.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Chronic wounds remain a persistent clinical challenge, trapped in a cycle of inflammation, infection, and impaired healing. While traditional dressings offer basic protection, they fail to address the complex pathophysiology of non-healing wounds. This review critically examines cellulose-based hydrogels as next-generation therapeutic platforms, analyzing their structure-property relationships, biofunctionalization strategies, and stimuli-responsive capabilities. We synthesize recent advances in antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-regenerative hydrogels, highlighting how cellulose's inherent tunability enables precision wound management. Finally, we confront the translational barriers-including scalability, sterilization, and regulatory hurdles-that must be overcome to bridge the gap between promising biomaterial research and clinical reality. By integrating materials science with wound pathophysiology, this review provides a roadmap for developing clinically viable cellulose-based hydrogels.
