The Secretome of Irradiated Peripheral Mononuclear Cells Attenuates Hypertrophic Skin Scarring.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hypertrophic scars can cause pain, movement restrictions, and reduction in the quality of life. Despite numerous options to treat hypertrophic scarring, efficient therapies are still scarce, and cellular mechanisms are not well understood. Factors secreted by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCsec) have been previously described for their beneficial effects on tissue regeneration. In this study, we investigated the effects of PBMCsec on skin scarring in mouse models and human scar explant cultures at single-cell resolution (scRNAseq). Mouse wounds and scars, and human mature scars were treated with PBMCsec intradermally and topically. The topical and intradermal application of PBMCsec regulated the expression of various genes involved in pro-fibrotic processes and tissue remodeling. We identified elastin as a common linchpin of anti-fibrotic action in both mouse and human scars. In vitro, we found that PBMCsec prevents TGFβ-mediated myofibroblast differentiation and attenuates abundant elastin expression with non-canonical signaling inhibition. Furthermore, the TGFβ-induced breakdown of elastic fibers was strongly inhibited by the addition of PBMCsec. In conclusion, we conducted an extensive study with multiple experimental approaches and ample scRNAseq data demonstrating the anti-fibrotic effect of PBMCsec on cutaneous scars in mouse and human experimental settings. These findings point at PBMCsec as a novel therapeutic option to treat skin scarring.
