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

Secondary burn necrosis is the expansion and deepening of the original burn injury several days after injury. Limiting the extent of secondary burn necrosis may improve outcomes. In this study, we examined the ability of the lipid mediator of inflammation-resolution resolvin D2 (RvD2) and chromatin-lysing enzyme (DNase) to reduce secondary burn necrosis. Male Wistar rats were injured using a brass comb with 4 prongs heated in boiling water. This method created 2 parallel rows of 4 rectangular burned areas separated by 3 unburned interspaces. Starting at 2 hours after the burn injury, rats received either 25 ng/kg RvD2 intravenously daily for 7 days or 200 U/kg DNase every 12 hours for 3 days. We documented the necrosis around the initial wounds by digital photography. We used laser Doppler to assess the total blood flux in the burn area. We evaluated the functionality of the capillary network in the interspaces by optical coherence tomography angiography. We performed histological examination of wound skin tissue samples collected at 14 days postburn. We found that the interspace areas were preserved and had higher blood flow in the RvD2-treated group, while the burn areas expanded into the interspace areas, which were confluent by 7 days postburn, in the control-untreated group. We found a larger monocyte-to-neutrophil ratio in the RvD2-treated group compared with the DNase-treated and control groups (P < .05). Overall, RvD2 suppresses secondary necrosis and starts regeneration, highlighting the role of inflammation resolution as a potential therapeutic target in burn care.
