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.

Abstract

Background: We recently reported the clinical safety profile of RJX, a well-defined intravenous GMP-grade pharmaceutical formulation of anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory vitamins as active ingredients, in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03680105) (Uckun et al., Front. Pharmacol. 11, 594321. 10.3389/fphar.2020.594321). The primary objective of the present study was to examine the effects of GMP-grade RJX on wound and burn injury healing in diabetic rats. Methods: In the present study, a rat model of T2DM was used that employs HFD in combination with a single injection of STZ intraperitoneally (i.p) at a moderate dose level (45 mg/kg). Anesthetized diabetic rats underwent full-thickness skin excision on the back or were subjected to burn injury Findings: Notably, diabetic rats treated with the 1.25 mL/kg or 2.5 mL/kg RJX (DM+RJX groups) rapidly healed their wounds as fast as non-diabetic control rats. Inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis along with fibrin and cell debris on the epithelial layer persisted for up to 14 days in the DM+NS group but not in RJX-treated groups. The histopathological score of wound healing on days 7 and 14 was better in diabetic rats treated with RJX than diabetic rats treated with NS and comparable to the scores for non-diabetic healthy rats consistent with an accelerated healing process. The residual wound area of RJX-treated rats was significantly smaller than that of NS-treated diabetic rats at each evaluation time point (P<0.001). The accelerating effect of RJX on diabetic wound healing was dose-dependent. We obtained similar results in the burn injury model. Our results demonstrate that RJX - at a dose level >10-fold lower than its clinical maximum tolerated dose (MTD) - accelerates the healing of excision wounds as well burn injury in diabetic rats.
