Shixiang Plaster, a Traditional Chinese Medicine, Promotes Healing in a Rat Model of Diabetic Ulcer Through the receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE)/Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)/Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1)/Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) Signaling Pathways.

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.
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
BACKGROUND Shixiang plaster is a traditional Chinese medicine has been used to treat chronic ulcers, including diabetic ulcers. Aminoguanidine is a hydrazine derivative that inhibits the formation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs). This study aimed to investigate the effects of shixiang plaster and aminoguanidine on wound healing in the streptozotocin-induced rat model of diabetes and the molecular mechanisms involved. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats treated with intraperitoneal streptozotocin and given surgical wounds were divided into the untreated chronic ulcer group (n=10), the aminoguanidine group (n=10), the shixiang plaster group (n=10), and the control group with sham surgery (n=10). Granulation tissue samples underwent light microscopy to evaluate angiogenesis and immunohistochemistry to identify AGE, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and CD34 expression. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot measured mRNA and protein expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). RESULTS The shixiang plaster group showed a significant increase in angiogenesis in ulcer granulation tissue, significantly reduced expression of AGEs and increased expression of VEGF and CD34 expression in granulation tissue compared with the untreated chronic ulcer group (p<0.05). The shixiang plaster group showed significantly down-regulated expression of RAGE and VCAM-1 compared with the untreated chronic ulcer group (p<0.05). Shixiang plaster promoted angiogenesis by activating the NF-kappaB p65 associated pathway and eNOS activation. CONCLUSIONS Shixiang plaster promoted healing in a rat model of diabetic ulcer through the RAGE/NF-kappaB and VEGF/VCAM-1/eNOS signaling pathways.
