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

We developed a novel mouse model of human refractory cutaneous ulcers that more faithfully reflects pathology and evaluated the effects of mixed cell sheets comprising peripheral blood mononuclear cells and fibroblasts, which we previously developed for treating refractory cutaneous ulcers. Model development involved sandwiching the skin between two magnets, one of which was implanted under the skin for 7 consecutive days. This magnet-implanted ulcer model produced persistently large amounts of exudate and induced the infiltration of the ulcer with inflammatory cells. The model mice had a thicker epidermis and impaired transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling followed by SMAD2 down-regulation, which causes epidermal hyperplasia in chronic ulcers. Impaired TGF-β signaling also occurred in the ulcers of critical limb ischemia patients. Mixed cell implantation in this ulcer model reduced TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the tissues surrounding the mixed cell sheet-treated ulcers compared with controls or mice treated with trafermin (FGF2). Seven days after commencing therapy, the epidermis was thinner in mice treated with the mixed cell sheets than in controls. This model may therefore serve as a clinically relevant model of human ulcers, and our mixed cell sheets may effectively relieve chronic inflammation and inhibit refractoriness mechanisms.
