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

Galanin is a neuropeptide widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Although its role in non-neural cells is poorly understood, it is known that during inflammation, the dermis layer of the skin produces and releases galanin. The aim of this report is to study the expression of galanin in granulation tissue. After inducing inflammation by cotton thread implantation, galanin-like immunoreactivity (galanin-LI) in plasma reached a maximum on the third day. Galanin-LI was observed in fibroblast-like cells occurring close to collagen fibers in developing granulation tissue. Furthermore, galanin receptor subtypes 1 and 2 (GALR1 and GALR2)-expressing cells were observed around microvessels and were found to produce desmin. Galanin was injected along the cotton threads immediately after implantation, resulting in rapid formation of granulation tissue, and an increase in the contents of microvessels, indicating a stimulatory effect of galanin on the process of angiogenesis in granulation tissue. The results demonstrate that some galanin was released from fibroblast-like cells during the formation of granulation tissue, and that it stimulated angiogenesis.
