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

A hypoxic microenvironment is a common feature of skin wounds. Our previous study demonstrated that three-dimensional coculture of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ucMSCs) and endothelial cells facilitates cell communication and host integration in skin tissue engineering. Here, we aimed to identify the mechanism by which ucMSCs affect endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions after skin injury. We demonstrate that hypoxia enhances the exosome-mediated paracrine function of ucMSCs, which increases endothelial cell proliferation and migration. In a mouse full-thickness skin injury model, ucMSC-derived exosomes can be taken up by endothelial cells and accelerate wound healing. Hypoxic exosomes lead to a better outcome than normoxic exosomes by promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, microRNA-125b (miR-125b) transcription is induced by hypoxia in ucMSCs. After being packaged into hypoxic exosomes and transported to endothelial cells, miR-125b targets and suppresses the expression of tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 1 (TP53INP1) and alleviates hypoxia-induced cell apoptosis. Inhibition of miR-125b-TP53INP1 interaction attenuates the protective effect of hypoxic exosomes. Moreover, artificial agomiR-125b can accelerate wound healing
