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

Cutaneous wound healing is a complex physiological process. This process can be altered by multiple physiological and pathological factors. Multiple pathophysiological disturbances act to impair resolution of cutaneous wound injury, including obesity, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and advanced age. As our longevity increases without a concomitant increase in healthy living years, it is plausible to assume that problematic wound closure will continue to consume a large portion of our health care resources. Furthermore, advanced age is associated with numerous alterations in the innate and adaptive immune responses that complicate outcomes following cutaneous injury, trauma, or infection. Thus, models that examine the impact of advanced age on cutaneous wound repair will be of great benefit to the development of potential therapeutics that target age-related aberrancies in tissue repair. Herein, we detail two animal models of tissue injury, excisional wound injury and burn injury, that can be used to evaluate wound healing in the context of advanced age. We also describe modifications of these methods to examine wound infection following either excisional or burn injury. Lastly, we discuss methods of subsequent tissue analysis following injury. Models described below can be further adapted to genetically engineered murine strains to study the effects of aging and other co-morbidities on wound healing.
