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

backgroundFollowing recent findings from our group that curcumin preconditioning augments the therapeutic efficacy of adipose-derived stem cells in the healing of diabetic wounds in rats, we aimed to investigate the regenerative effects of curcumin preconditioned adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) for better recovery of acid inflicted burns in this study.

methodsASCs were preconditioned with 5 μM curcumin for 24 hours and assessed for proliferation, migration, paracrine release potential and gene expression comparative to naïve ASCs. Subsequently, the healing capacity of curcumin preconditioned ASCs (Cur-ASCs) versus naïve ASCs was examined using acidic wounds in rats. For this, acid inflicted burns of 20 mm in diameter were made on the back of male Wistar rats. Then, 2 × 10

resultsWe found that Cur-ASCs exhibited greater proliferation, migration and paracrine potential

conclusionsTreatment with Cur-ASCs resulted in faster re-epithelization of acid inflicted burns compared to the treatment with naïve ASCs. Based on observed findings, we suggest the transplantation of Cur-ASCs is a valuable therapy for the potent clinical management of acidic burns.
