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

Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a mixture of deoxyribonucleotides. It serves as an anti‑inflammatory and tissue‑regenerating agent. The mitogen‑activated protein kinase pathway modulates cell growth and collagen accumulation. It also regulates inflammation by suppressing the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. In the present study, it was attempted to elucidate the molecular mechanism of PDRN in skin healing by confirming the effects of PDRN treatment on skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts, and by assessing the levels of collagen and inflammatory cytokines regulated by the extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. The potential effects of PDRN on skin regeneration were investigated. Fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation and migration were analyzed using the water‑soluble tetrazolium‑8 and wound healing assays. The upregulation of collagen synthesis by PDRN‑induced ERK activation was analyzed in fibroblasts with or without an ERK inhibitor. Inflammatory cytokine expression levels in keratinocytes were determined using reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. PDRN promoted the proliferation and migration of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. However, PDRN‑induced ERK phosphorylation differed between keratinocytes and fibroblasts; PDRN increased ERK phosphorylation and collagen accumulation in fibroblasts, while it inhibited matrix metalloproteinase expression. By contrast, PDRN inhibited ERK phosphorylation in keratinocytes, and it decreased inflammatory cytokine expression levels. PDRN affects skin cell proliferation and migration, and collagen and inflammatory cytokine expression levels via ERK signaling. Overall, PDRN exerts a positive effect on skin regeneration, but the mechanism by which it promotes skin regeneration varies among different skin cell types.
