Growth Factor and Cytokine Delivery Systems for Wound Healing.
Review in Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Skin wound healing is a highly coordinated process involving multiple tissue-resident and recruited cell types. Cells within the wound microenvironment respond to key secreted factors such as pro-proliferative growth factors and immunomodulatory cytokines to repair the skin and promptly restore its essential barrier role. Therefore, recombinant growth factors and cytokines are promising therapeutics for skin wounds, in particular for large acute wounds such as burns, or wounds associated with underlying pathologies such as nonhealing chronic and diabetic wounds. However, translation of growth factors and cytokines into clinically effective treatments has been limited. Short half-life, poor stability, rapid diffusion, uncontrolled signaling, and systemic side effects are currently the key challenges to developing efficient growth factor- and cytokine-based therapies. To overcome these limitations, novel delivery systems have been developed to improve the regenerative potential of recombinant growth factors and cytokines. In this review, we discuss biomaterial and protein engineering strategies used to optimize the delivery of growth factor and cytokine therapeutics for skin wound treatment.
