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

objectivesFaulty wound healing is a global healthcare problem. Chronic wounds are generally characterized by a reduction in availability of growth factors. New strategies are being developed to deliver growth factors more effectively.

methodsIn this study, we introduced electrospun scaffolds composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers functionalized with adhered platelets, as a source of numerous growth factors. Three concentrations of platelets were immobilized to nanofibrous scaffolds by simple adhesion, and their influence on adhesion, proliferation and metabolic activity of seeded cells (murine fibroblasts, keratinocytes and melanocytes) was investigated.

resultsThe data obtained indicated that presence of platelets significantly promoted cell spreading, proliferation and metabolic activity in all the skin-associated cell types. There were no significant differences among tested concentrations of platelets, thus even the lowest concentration sufficiently promoted proliferation of the seeded cells.

conclusionsSuch complex stimulation is needed for improved healing of chronic wounds. However, the nanofibrous system can be used not only as a skin cover, but also in broader applications in regenerative medicine.
