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

Cellular mechanisms and/or microbiological interactions which contribute to chronic diabetes related foot ulcers (DRFUs) were explored using serially collected tissue specimens from chronic DRFUs and control healthy foot skin. Total RNA was isolated for next-generation sequencing. We found differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and enriched hallmark gene ontology biological processes upregulated in chronic DRFUs which primarily functioned in the host immune response including: (i) Inflammatory response; (ii) TNF signalling via NFKB; (iii) IL6 JAK-STAT3 signalling; (iv) IL2 STAT5 signalling and (v) Reactive oxygen species. A temporal analysis identified RN7SL1 signal recognition protein and IGHG4 immunoglobulin protein coding genes as being the most upregulated genes after the onset of treatment. Testing relative temporal changes between healing and non-healing DRFUs identified progressive upregulation in healed wounds of CXCR5 and MS4A1 (CD20), both canonical markers of lymphocytes (follicular B cells/follicular T helper cells and B cells, respectively). Collectively, our RNA-seq data provides insights into chronic DRFU pathogenesis.
