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

Understanding of the mechanism of cutaneous scar formation with the goal of developing potential therapies to promote scar-less wound healing appears to be extremely critical. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a demonstrate role in promoting scar-less wound healing. However, recent studies have shown that the function of MSCs may be attenuated due to insufficient activation in vivo. Here, we aimed to increase the activity and functions of MSCs to improve their effects during scar formation. We found that overexpression of microRNA-375 (miR-375) in MSCs significantly decreased the levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) protein, but not mRNA. Mechanistically, miR-375 inhibited TIMP-1 protein translation through binding to the 3'-UTR of the TIMP-1 mRNA in MSCs. Transplantation of miR-375-expressing MSCs significantly reduced the fibrosis in the scar region of the mice, possibly through reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppression of transition of myofibroblasts from fibroblasts, and increases in hepatic growth factor (HGF). Together, these data suggest that overexpression of miR-375 in MSCs may substantially improve the effects of MSCs on reduction of scar during wound healing. Our study sheds new light on a scar-less wound healing.
