What good is maths in studies of wound healing?
Review in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Wound healing is an aspect of normal physiology that we all take for granted until it goes wrong, such as, for example, the scarring that results from a severe burn, or those patients who suffer from debilitating chronic wounds that fail to heal. Ever since wound repair research began as a discipline, clinicians and basic scientists have collaborated to try and understand the cell and molecular mechanisms that underpin healthy repair in the hope that this will reveal clues for the therapeutic treatment of pathological healing. In recent decades mathematicians and physicists have begun to join in with this important challenge. Here we describe examples of how mathematical modeling married to biological experimentation has provided insights that biology alone could not fathom. To date, these studies have largely focused on wound re-epithelialization and inflammation, but we also discuss other components of wound healing that might be ripe for similar interdisciplinary approaches.
