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.

2 · The registry

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

Pathological scars (including keloids, hypertrophic scars, and scar contractures) are present with high severity among certain populations, particularly in Asians and Africans who are highly prone to develop scars. Understanding the patho-mechanism that underlies scarring, such as mechanosignaling, systemic, and genetic factors, as well as optimal surgical techniques and integrated noninvasive therapeutic methods can guide clinicians to develop treatment protocols that can overcome these issues. This report summarizes a congress at Pacifico Yokohama (Conference Center) on December 19, 2021 involving researchers and clinicians from diverse disciplines who convened to discuss current clinical, preclinical, and most recent research advances in understanding pathological scarring, keloid and hypertrophic scar management, and research progress in wound healing. Presenters described the advances in scar therapies, understanding scarring mechanisms, and scar prevention and assessments tools. Moreover, presenters addressed the challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic and using telemedicine in management of scar patients.
