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

It is considered that the mechanism in intractable cutaneous ulcer is deeply associated with prolongation at the inflammatory phase. Having evaluated the effects of Lipo-prostaglandin E1 (Lipo-PGE1) with indicators such as the reduction ratio of the ulcer area and the values of the inflammatory markers after dividing them into two groups of collagen diseases and non-collagen diseases and giving them Lipo-PGE1, we managed to obtain the result that Lipo-PGE1 administration could influence various inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, and VEGF in addition to reduction of the ulcer region. It also suggested that Lipo-PGE1 has the effect of maintaining an appropriate balance of induction of inflammation and angiogenesis. Additionally, it revealed that Lipo-PGE1 controls the production of cytokines, which are associated with the growth of collagen diseases. From these results, it can be expected that Lipo-PGE1 will act favorably on intractable collagen diseases.
