Multi-faceted enhancement of full-thickness skin wound healing by treatment with autologous micro skin tissue columns.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Impaired wound healing is an immense medical challenge, and while autologous skin grafting remains the "gold-standard" therapeutic option for repairing wounds that cannot be closed by primary or secondary intention, it is limited by substantial donor site morbidity. We previously developed the alternative approach of harvesting full-thickness skin tissue in the form of "micro skin tissue columns" (MSTCs), without causing scarring or any other long-term morbidity. In this study we investigated how MSTC treatment affects the different cellular processes involved in wound healing. We found that MSTC-derived cells were able to remodel and repopulate the wound volume, and positively impact multiple aspects of the wound healing process, including accelerating re-epithelialization by providing multiple cell sources throughout the wound area, increasing collagen deposition, enhancing dermal remodeling, and attenuating the inflammatory response. These effects combined to enhance both epidermal and dermal wound healing. This MSTC treatment approach was designed for practical clinical use, could convey many benefits of autologous skin grafting, and avoids the major drawback of donor site morbidity.
