Assessment of the concentration of selected metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-13) in patients with ulcers as a complication of type 2 diabetes.

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
Introduction: Impaired chronic wound healing is a great challenge for modern medicine. This process causes ulceration especially in the course of diseases such as type II diabetes mellitus. Aim: This study assesses the concentration of selected matrix metalloproteinases in the example of metalloproteinase 2, 3, 9, 13 in patients with impaired healing of chronic wounds as a complication of type 2 diabetes. Material and methods: Nineteen people took part in the assessment of wound healing in patients with type 2 diabetes. The control group consisted of 21 healthy people. In the blood serum the concentration of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9 and MMP-13 was determined. Results: The concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-3 in the group of patients with ulcers were significantly higher (61% and 84% accordingly) compared to those in the control group without chronic wounds. No statistically significant differences in MMP-9 and MMP-13 concentrations were observed between the study and control groups. Conclusions: The increase in MMP-2 concentration, which is particularly active in the degradation of type IV collagen, which is the main component of the basal membranes, in patients with type 2 diabetes may impede and delay the healing of chronic wounds and thus contribute to the intensification of vascular complications. In turn, the increase in MMP-3 concentration, which plays a significant role in vascular diseases, in patients with type 2 diabetes may lead to intensification of atherosclerotic changes involving the arteries of the lower extremities and ulceration.
