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 foot ulcers characterized by delayed healing are one of the main complications of diabetes. Epidermal keratinocyte dysfunction has been found to play a pivotal role in the poor healing ability of diabetic wounds. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between c-Myc and its O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) glycosylation (O-GlcNAcylation) modification and keratinocyte dysfunction in diabetic wounds.

methodsClinical wound samples were collected and a full-thickness skin defect wound model of diabetic rats was established. Re-epithelialization of wounds was observed by H&E staining and expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen, transglutaminase 1, loricrin, c-Myc and O-GlcNAc were measured by immunohistochemistry. The functional changes of proliferation, migration and differentiation of human immortalized epidermal cells (HaCaT) cells after overexpression or knockdown of

resultsKeratinocytes at the diabetic wound margin were characterized by active proliferation and division, slow migration and poor differentiation. Similar phenomena were observed in HaCaT cells cultured in 30 mM glucose and keratinocytes at the wound margin of the diabetic rats. The expression of c-Myc was increased in keratinocytes at the wound margin of diabetic rats, patients, and in HaCaT cells cultured with 30 mM glucose. Increased expression of c-Myc promoted the proliferation while inhibiting the migration and differentiation of the HaCaT cells, and inhibition of c-Myc promoted diabetic wound healing. Increased O-GlcNAcylation of c-Myc with 30 mM glucose stabilized the c-Myc proteins. Inhibition of O-GlcNAc ameliorated keratinocyte dysfunction and promoted diabetic wound healing.

conclusionsIncreased expression of c-Myc promoted abnormal proliferation and inhibited migration and differentiation of keratinocytes at the diabetic wound margin. Increased O-GlcNAcylation of c-Myc with 30 mM glucose stabilized the c-Myc proteins. Inhibition of c-Myc or O-GlcNAc alleviated delayed diabetic wound healing. These findings make c-Myc and O-GlcNAc potential therapeutic targets for diabetic wounds.
