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

Excellent wound dressing is essential for effective wound repair and regeneration. However, natural polymeric skin substitutes often lack mechanical strength and hydrophilicity. One way to overcome this limitation is to use biodegradable polymers with high mechanical strength and low skin-irritation induction in wet environments. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an attractive polymer for medical applications; unlike synthetic polymers, it is biodegradable and renewable and has a strong affinity for materials containing hydroxyl groups. Therefore, we conjugated it with resveratrol (RSV), which has a 4'-hydroxyl group and exhibits good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity. We synthesized BC scaffolds with immobilized RSV and characterized the resulting BC/RSV scaffold with scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. We found that RSV was released from the BC in vitro after ~10 min, and immunofluorescence staining showed that BC was highly biocompatible and regenerated epithelia. Additionally, Masson's trichrome staining showed that the scaffolds preserved the normal collagen-bundling pattern and induced re-epithelialization in defective rat epidermis. These results indicated that RSV-conjugated BC created a biocompatible environment for stem cell attachment and growth and promoted epithelial regeneration during wound healing.
