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 random skin flap is commonly applied in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The distal part of the random skin flap often risks necrosis because the blood flow may be compromised. Prevascularization is a widely used technology to intensify the vascularization function of biomaterials. In fact, human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) sheets promote neoangiogenesis. We speculated that prevascularized hMSC cell sheets (PHCS) would further improve neovascularization by producing more angiogenic growth factors in a random skin flap animal model. In this study, PHCS were set up by co-culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with hMSC cell sheets (HCS).
