Liver is a primary source of insulin-like growth factor-1 in skin wound healing.
Article in The Journal of endocrinology, 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
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 plays important role in tissue repair through its ability to stimulate wound cell activity. While IGF-1 is expressed locally by wound cells, liver-derived IGF-1 is also present at high levels in the circulation, and the contributions of local vs circulating IGF-1 to wound levels remain undefined. The hypothesis of this study was that liver is a primary source of IGF-1 during skin wound healing. To test this hypothesis, we utilized a model that allows inducible ablation of IGF-1 specifically in liver of adult mice. We demonstrate that ablation of liver IGF-1 leads to >85% loss of circulating IGF-1 and ~60% decrease in wound IGF-1 during the proliferative phase of healing in both male and female mice. This reduction of liver-derived IGF-1 did not alter local mRNA expression of Igf1 in wounds. Knockdown of liver IGF-1 significantly delayed wound re-epithelialization and reduced granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition. Knockdown of liver IGF-1 also significantly reduced angiogenesis and resulted in persistent macrophage accumulation. In summary, liver is a primary source of IGF-1 in skin wounds and contributes to many aspects of both epithelial and dermal healing.
