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

backgroundNegative pressure wound therapy represents an effective therapy to treat nonhealing diabetic wounds by promoting angiogenesis, of which the mechanism hasn't been investigated thoroughly. Growing evidence suggests that miRNAs hold great potential to be clinical biomarkers, and miR-126 is an essential angiogenesis regulator in diabetic wound repair. PURPOSE: Our study aims to explore the effect of NPWT on the expression of miR-126 in the wound tissue and plasma of diabetic rat models and the association between circulating miR-126 and two quantitative indexes of angiogenesis.

methodsFull-thickness excisional wounds were created on the back of diabetic rats. Measure the wound closure and collect the wound tissue and blood for H&E, immunohistochemistry, Western blot and RT-PCR. Here we demonstrated that significantly increased capillary density and arteriolar density in the NPWT group at each specified time-point.

resultsIn the NPWT group, miR-126 expression was significantly increased on days 3, 5, 7, and 9 (

conclusionThe study suggested that miR-126 was upregulated by NPWT and could represent a promising monitoring tool for angiogenesis in diabetic wounds treated with NPWT.
