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

Wound healing and the management of chronic wounds represent a significant burden on the NHS. Members of the suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) family have been implicated in the regulation of a range of cellular processes. The current study aims to explore the importance of SOCS-3 and SOCS-4 in regulating cellular traits associated with wound healing. SOCS-3 over-expression and SOCS-4 knockdown mutant lines were generated and verified using q-PCR and western blotting in human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and endothelial cells (HECV). Over-expression of SOCS-3 resulted in a significantly reduced proliferative rate in HaCaT keratinocytes and also enhanced the tubule formation capacity of HECV cells. SOCS-4 knockdown significantly reduced HaCaT migration and HECV cell tubule formation. Suppression of SOCS-4 influenced the responsiveness of HaCaT and HECV cells to EGF and TGFβ and resulted in a dysregulation of phospho-protein expression in HaCaT cells. SOCS-3 and SOCS-4 appear to play regulatory roles in a number of keratinocyte and endothelial cellular traits associated with the wound healing process and may also be able to regulate the responsiveness of these cells to EGF and TGFβ. This implies a potential regulatory role in the wound healing process and, thus highlights their potential as novel therapies.
