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

Butyrate is a key bacterial metabolite that plays an important and complex role in modulation of immunity and maintenance of epithelial barriers. Its translation to clinic is limited by poor bioavailability, pungent smell, and the need for high doses, and effective delivery strategies have yet to realize clinical potential. Here, a novel polymeric delivery platform for tunable and sustainable release of butyrate consisting of a methacrylamide backbone with butyryl ester or phenyl ester side chains as well as mannosyl side chains, which is also applicable to other therapeutically relevant metabolites is reported. This platform's utility in the treatment of non-healing diabetic wounds is explored. This butyrate-containing material modulated immune cell activation in vitro and induced striking changes in the milieu of soluble cytokine and chemokine signals present within the diabetic wound microenvironment in vivo. This novel therapy shows efficacy in the treatment of non-healing wounds through the modulation of the soluble signals present within the wound, and importantly accommodates the critical temporal regulation associated with the wound healing process. Currently, the few therapies to address non-healing wounds demonstrate limited efficacy. This novel platform is positioned to address this large unmet clinical need and improve the closure of otherwise non-healing wounds.
