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

Despite significant advances in management of severe wounds such as burns and chronic ulcers, autologous split-thickness skin grafts are still the gold standard of care. The main problems with this approach include pain and discomfort associated with harvesting autologous tissue, limited availability of donor sites, and the need for multiple surgeries. Although tissue engineering has great potential to provide alternative approaches for tissue regeneration, several problems have hampered progress in translating technological advances to clinical reality. Specifically, engineering of skin substitutes requires long culture times and delayed vascularization after implantation compromises graft survival. To address these issues we developed a novel two-prong strategy for tissue regeneration in vivo: (1) vascularization of acellular dermal scaffolds by infiltration of angiogenic factors; and (2) generation of stratified epidermis by in situ delivery of epidermal keratinocytes onto the prevascularized dermal support. Using athymic mouse as a model system, we found that incorporation of angiogenic factors within acellular human dermis enhanced the density and diameter of infiltrating host blood vessels. Increased vascularization correlated with enhanced proliferation and stratification of the neoepidermis originating from the fibrin-keratinocyte cell suspension. This strategy promoted tissue regeneration in vivo with no need for engineering skin substitutes; therefore, it may be useful for treatment of major wounds when skin donor sites are scarce and rapid wound coverage is required.
