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

backgroundDiabetic ulcers are a common morbidity associated with poorly controlled glycemic status. Most patients often have neuropathy and vasculopathy as the etiology behind such ulcers. These factors not only lead to poor wound healing but also nonhealing ulcers. Nonhealing ulcers pose therapeutic challenges as they are usually not amenable to be treated with simple wound care and hence require newer modalities to effectively cure this condition that leads to a plethora of poor health outcomes. This study was conducted to see the effect of autologous noncultured keratinocyte cell suspension in chronic nonhealing diabetic ulcers that failed to normal wound care. MATERIAL AND

methodsIt was an observational pilot study. A total of 05 patients with nonhealing ulcers, attending the tertiary care teaching hospital in North India, were included in the study. Inclusion criteria was type 2 DM with more than 5 years duration of diabetes mellitus and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) <9 g%. History was taken in detail; name, age, sex, address, duration of disease and various other treatments taken from outside were noted; and size of ulcer was recorded as per Proforma.

resultsA total of 5 patients were enrolled in the study, three (60%) and two (40%) patients were male and female, respectively. Three (60%) patients were habitual for tobacco use. Mean age of patients was 45 ± 6.51 years. Mean duration of ulcers was 4.8 ± 1.48 months. Area of ulcers ranged from 31.2 to 122.2 cm

conclusionNoncultured keratinocytes are useful in healing of nonhealing diabetic ulcer.
