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
Background: Variations in skin healing capacities are observed during different murine embryonic developmental stages. Through embryonic day 16 (E16), embryos are able to regenerate dermal architecture following flank skin wounding; however, after E17, wounds heal incompletely, inducing scar formation. The regenerative ability of the E16 fetal dermis depends on the migration of dermal mesenchymal cells. Decorin is a small molecule known to affect tissue tensile strength, cell phenotype, and tissue repair, including skin wound healing. In the current study, we evaluated the expression and roles of decorin in wound healing. Methods: Surgical injury was induced at E16 and E17 in ICR mouse embryos. Decorin expression was evaluated in tissue samples from these embryos using immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell migration assays were used to evaluate wound healing capability of separated dermal and fascial tissues. Results: Our results showed that decorin exhibited distinct expression patterns during wound healing at E16 versus E17. Additionally, decorin expression altered cell migration in vitro. Dermal and fascial mesenchymal cells were found to exhibit distinct migration patterns concomitant with altered decorin expression. Specifically, decorin inhibited migration and favored scar formation. Conclusion: Decorin expression may contribute to scar formation in the late stage of mouse embryos by inhibiting the migration of dermal mesenchymal cells.
