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

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a multifunctional factor with potent anti-angiogenic activity that may play a role in skin homoeostasis and wound healing. Analysis of PEDF levels demonstrated that PEDF levels are high in normal skin but quite low in early wounds. As previous studies have suggested that keratinocytes can produce PEDF, we investigated how conditions that mimic those found at sites of injury influence PEDF production by keratinocytes in vitro. Both injury by mechanical disruption (scratch assay) and treatment of human keratinocytes with inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α) inhibited PEDF expression. We next examined how PEDF affects keratinocyte functions that are important in tissue repair. Treatment of keratinocytes with exogenous PEDF enhanced keratinocyte adhesion, therefore impairing migration, while having no effect on cell proliferation. The results suggest that modulation of PEDF levels may play a pivotal role in skin homoeostasis and the response of keratinocytes to injury or inflammatory insults.
