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

Scar formation is the problem for clinic surgery. Recent studies showed that the scar formation was closely related to the dermal defect. Three-dimensional (3-d) structures of dermal tissues act as a template to modulate cell functions that are essential the regeneration of skin structure and function. The dermal tissue's integrity and continuity is a prerequisite for repair to take place. Loss of the dermal tissue integrity and continuity due to trauma leads to a lack of the template effect, which may be one important mechanism that hinders the recovery of cell function, resulting in scar formation. These studies give us two questions: what is the three-dimensional (3-d) structure of the dermal tissue? How do the tissues form? Up to now, it is well known that the molecular structure of collagen, the micro-structure of microfibril, however, the mesoscopic structure of dermal tissues is still unclear. Our recently rudimentary studies showed the problem might be resolved by phase-contrast micro-tomography with synchrotron radiation, which is likely to open new avenues for further investigations on wound regeneration and skin tissue engineering.
