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

Diabetic wounds with complex pathological features and a difficult-to-heal nature remain a formidable challenge. To address this challenge, we design and fabricate a self-powered enzyme-linked microneedle (MN) patch composed of anode and cathode MN arrays, which respectively contain glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) encapsulated in ZIF-8 nanoparticles. The enzymatic cascade reaction in the MN patch can effectively reduce local hyperglycemia in diabetic wounds while generating stable microcurrents to promote rapid healing of diabetic wounds. Therefore, the diabetic wounds treated with this MN patch exhibit rapid, complete, and scar-preventative healing, which can be attributed to the synergistic actions of hypoglycemic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and bioelectrical stimulation. In brief, the self-powered MN patch is an effective method to rapidly promote diabetic wound healing and prevent scar formation.
