Effects of silver foam combined with Dermlin wound healing dressing on inflammation and quality of life in patients with diabetic lower limb ulcers.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo investigate the effects of silver foam combined with Dermlin wound healing dressing on concentrations of inflammatory factors of wound surface and quality of life of the patients with diabetic lower limb ulcers.
methodsA total of 60 patients with diabetic lower limb ulcers admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University during January 2020 and December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. According to the different treatments, they were divided into a control group (30 cases treated with Dermlin wound healing dressing only), and a research group (30 cases treated with silver foam combined with Dermlin dressing). The clinical efficacy, wound healing status, pain intensity (visual analog scale (VAS) scores), concentrations of inflammatory factor (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), leukocyte interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), procalcitonin (PCT)), angiogenesis factors levels (basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)), oxidative stress reaction indexes (advanced protein oxidation products (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) and quality of life (SF-36 scale) were compared between two groups. The bacterial removal rate was calculated based on the results of bacterial culture before and after treatment. The central granulated tissue was collected after the granulation tissue coverage rate was calculated.
resultsThe research group had significantly higher overall response rate (96.67% vs 73.33%), shorter wound healing time and higher wound healing rate than the control group (all P<0.05). The VAS scores were decreased in both Groups 1, 3 and 7 d after treatment as compared with those before treatment, and the VAS scores were significantly lower in the research group than in the control group during the same period (all P<0.05). After treatment, the concentrations of hsCRP, IL-6, TNF-α, PCT, AOPP and MDA were decreased in both groups, while the levels of bFGF, VEGF, l TGF-β1, SOD and SF-36 scores were increased significantly (all P<0.05). The above-mentioned indicators of the research group improved significantly compared with those of the control group (all P<0.05). The bacterial removal rate and granulation tissue coverage rate of the research group were significantly higher than those of the control group (both P<0.05).
conclusionThe treatment of diabetic lower limb ulcers with silver foam combined with Dermlin dressing can effectively promote wound healing, reduce pain intensity, and improve quality of life in patients with diabetic lower limb ulcers. Such effects may be attributed to lower levels of inflammatory factor levels, regulation of oxidative stress, and improvement of angiogenesis.
