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

Skin substitutes with existing vascularization are in great demand for the repair of full-thickness skin defects. In the present study, we hypothesized that a pre-vascularized skin substitute can potentially promote wound healing. Novel three-dimensional (3D) skin substitutes were prepared by seeding a mixture of human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and fibroblasts into a human plasma/calcium chloride formed gel scaffold, and seeding keratinocytes onto the surface of the plasma gel. The capacity of the EPCs to differentiate into a vascular-like tubular structure was evaluated using immunohistochemistry analysis and WST-8 assay. Experimental studies in mouse full-thickness skin wound models showed that the pre-vascularized gel scaffold significantly accelerated wound healing 7 days after surgery, and resembled normal skin structures after 14 days post-surgery. Histological analysis revealed that pre-vascularized gel scaffolds were well integrated in the host skin, resulting in the vascularization of both the epidermis and dermis in the wound area. Moreover, mechanical strength analysis demonstrated that the healed wound following the implantation of the pre-vascularized gel scaffolds exhibited good tensile strength. Taken together, this novel pre-vascularized human plasma gel scaffold has great potential in skin tissue engineering.
