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

Detection of vitality of mechanical wounds in human cadavers is one of the important issues in forensic medicine. In order to explore novel markers for vitality of acute mechanical wounds, we investigated autophagy in mouse and human skin wounds. Western blotting analysis of mouse skin wounds showed marked reduction of LC3-II and reciprocal increase of p62 in wound samples with the postinfliction intervals of ≥0.5 h, compared with the uninjured skin tissues. These observations indicated that autophagy level was reduced in the wound sites. In postmortem wound samples, there were no remarkable changes in LC3-II and p62 levels. Furthermore, the postmortem intervals of 1-4 days have no significant effects on the changes of LC3-II and p62 in the antemortem skin wounds. Like murine wound samples, these alterations of LC3-II and p62 could be detected in human skin wound samples. Collectively, our study using animal and human samples implied that the detection of autophagy-related molecules such as LC3-II and p62 might be useful for forensic practice as markers of wound vitality.
