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

Deep skin wounds represent a serious condition and frequently require split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) to heal. The application of autologous human-skin-cell-suspension (hSCS) requires less donor skin than STSG without compromising the healing capacity. Impaired function and replicative ability of senescent cutaneous cells in the aging skin affects healing with autologous hSCS. Major determinants of senescence are telomere erosion and DNA damage. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) adds telomeric repeats to the DNA and can protect against DNA damage. Herein, hTERT mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNP) are proposed and evaluated for enhancing cellular engraftment and proliferation of hSCS. Transfection with optimized hTERT mRNA LNP system enables delivery and expression of mRNA in vitro in keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and in hSCS prepared from donors' skin. Telomerase activity in hSCS is significantly increased. hTERT mRNA LNP enhance the generation of a partial-thickness human skin equivalent in the mouse model, increasing hSCS engraftment (Lamin) and proliferation (Ki67), while reducing cellular senescence (p21) and DNA damage (53BP1).
