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

backgroundThe present study was designed to evaluate the potential of isoquercetin-based cream formulation on scald burn wound injury in rats.

methodsFour isoquercetin-based cream formulations viz. 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06 % w/w were prepared. Cream base and standard anti-burn cream containing silver sulfadiazine were also used for comparison. Scald burn was given to rats by pouring water at 90 °C on a shaved dorsal area of 20 mm(2). Deep second-degree burn injury was produced which was evaluated for the next 21 days for the percentage of wound contraction and period of epithelialization. On day 21, the rats were sacrificed and histopathological slides were prepared using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Burned tissue was also screened for levels of oxidative stress using thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) estimation.

resultsThere was a significant increase in the percentage of wound contraction and a significant decrease in the period of epithelialization in isoquercetin-based cream-treated groups as compared with the control group. However, most significant results were obtained with isoquercetin 0.06 % w/w cream. Histologically, isoquercetin 0.06 % w/w cream treatment resulted in almost complete re-epithelialization and re-structuring of the wound tissue. There was a significant rise in TBARS and a decrease in GSH levels in the burn injury group which was reversed to a major extent by the application of isoquercetin-based cream.

conclusionsThe results indicate the wound healing potential of isoquercetin-based cream. Tissue biochemical studies indicate towards a possible role of free radical scavenging in the observed effects of isoquercetin in wound healing.
