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

A hypertrophic scar is characterized by fibroblast proliferation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Emerging evidence has revealed that fetal keratinocytes (KCs) contribute to scarless wound healing. However, the association between fetal keratinocytesand hypertrophic scarring remains unclear. In the present study, human KCs of different gestational ages were isolated and co‑cultured with human hypertrophic scar fibroblasts (HSFbs) or normal skin fibroblasts. Gene expression andprotein levels of fibronectin, collagen 1and α‑smooth muscle actinin thefibroblasts were measured by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses. It was observed that fetal KCs significantly inhibited the proliferation of HSFbs in vitro. Fetal keratinocytes also affected the expression of fibronectin, collagen 1and α‑smooth muscle actin in HSFbs. In addition, miR‑940 may modulate the suppressive effects of fetal KCson the cell proliferation, differentiation and extracellular matrix synthesis of HSFbs by directly targeting transforming growth factor‑β1. Taken together, the results of the present studyprovide evidence to support the potential use of fetal KCsfor cell‑based therapeutic grafting in the prevention of hypertrophic scarring.
