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

Although estrogens have long been known to accelerate healing in females, their roles in males remain to be established. To address this, we have investigated the influence of 17beta-estradiol on acute wound repair in castrated male mice. We report that sustained exposure to estrogen markedly delays wound re-epithelialization. Our use of hairless mice revealed this response to be largely independent of hair follicle cycling, whereas other studies demonstrated that estrogen minimally influences wound inflammation in males. Additionally, we report reduced collagen accumulation and increased gelatinase activities in the wounds of estrogen-treated mice. Increased wound matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 activity in these animals may i) contribute to their inability to heal skin wounds optimally and ii) stem, at least in part, from effects on the overall levels and spatial distribution of membrane-type 1-MMP and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP)-3, which respectively facilitate and prevent MMP-2 activation. Using mice rendered null for either the alpha or beta isoform of the estrogen receptor, we identified estrogen receptor-alpha as the likely effector of estrogen's inhibitory effects on healing.
