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

backgroundPost-surgery disabling scars are frequent after surgical interventions.

aimWe evaluated a new strategy for scars management.

methodsA woman with a postsurgery disabling scar, consequent to an accident that needed surgical intervention, had serious difficulties to walk and perform normal daily activities. A few months after the intervention, she was treated with a combined therapy consisting of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) vials 5.625 mg/3 mL (administered subcutaneously as a biostimulant treatment through the scars and throughout the whole atrophic area), associated with nucleotide administered topically and as a food supplement. The patient was treated with an additional topical nighttime treatment cream based on nucleotides, hyaluronic acid, Allium cepa extract, and vitamin E, plus a daily treatment with a cream containing nucleotides, and a nutraceutical systemic treatment with 25 mg/cps of nucleotides and 5 mg/cps of Q10-coenzyme (1 cps/d).

resultsThis reasonably cheap treatment was effective and safe for this disabling scar at the right foot. One year after starting treatment, the patient confirmed her complete satisfaction. This is the first case report describing an unexpectedly successful outcome while using this combination therapy on a woman with a postsurgery disabling scar.
