FTO overexpression expedites wound healing and alleviates depression in burn rats through facilitating keratinocyte migration and angiogenesis via mediating TFPI-2 demethylation.

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
Burn injury is a serious traumatic injury that leads to severe physical and psychosocial impairment. Wound healing after burn injury is a substantial challenge in medical community. This study investigated the biological effects of the demethylase fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) on burn injury. FTO protein level in burn skin tissues of patients was measured with Western blot assay. Keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) were given heat stimulation to induce an in vitro burn injury model, and then transfected with overexpression plasmids of FTO (pcDNA-FTO) or small interfering RNA against FTO (si-FTO). Cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in keratinocytes were evaluated with CCK-8, Transwell, and tube formation assays, respectively. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) m6A methylation level was detected with MeRIP‑qPCR assay. Then rescue experiments were conducted to explore the effects of FTO/TFPI-2 axis on keratinocyte functions. Lentivirus carrying FTO overexpression plasmids was injected into a burn rat model to detect its effects on wound healing and depressive-like behaviors in burn rats. FTO was downregulated in burn skin and heat-stimulated keratinocytes. FTO prominently augmented proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in heat-stimulated keratinocytes, while FTO knockdown showed the opposite results. FTO inhibited TFPI-2 expression by FTO-mediated m6A methylation modification. TFPI-2 overexpression abrogated FTO mediated enhancement of proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in keratinocytes. Additionally, FTO overexpression accelerated wound healing and improved depressive-like behaviors in burn rat model. FTO prominently augmented proliferation, migration and angiogenesis in heat-stimulated keratinocytes though inhibiting TFPI-2, and then improved wound healing and depressive-like behaviors.
