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

Juvenile tissue healing is capable of extensive scarless healing that is distinct from the scar-forming process of the adult healing response. Although many growth factors can be found in the juvenile healing process, the molecular mechanisms of juvenile tissue healing are poorly understood. Here we show that juvenile mice deficient in the chemokine receptor CCR7 exhibit diminished large-scale healing potential, whereas CCR7-depleted adult mice undergo normal scar-forming healing similar to wild type mice. In addition, the CCR7 ligand CCL21 was transiently expressed around damaged cartilage in juvenile mice, whereas it is rarely expressed in adults. Notably, exogenous CCL21 administration to adults decreased scar-forming healing and enhanced hyaline-cartilage repair in rabbit osteochondral defects. Our data indicate that the CCL21/CCR7 axis may play a role in the molecular control mechanism of juvenile cartilage repair, raising the possibility that agents modulating the production of CCL21 in vivo can improve the quality of cartilage repair in adults. Such a strategy may prevent post-traumatic arthritis by mimicking the self-repair in juvenile individuals.
