Pyruvate Kinase M2 Accelerates Cutaneous Wound Healing via Glycolysis and Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cutaneous wound healing is a complex and dynamic process with high energy demand. The activation of glycolysis is essential for restoring the structure and function of injured tissues in wounds. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the last step of glycolysis. PKM2-mediated glycolysis is known to play an important role in diseases related to regeneration and inflammation. However, the role of PKM2 in wound healing has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we found that PKM2 expression and pyruvate kinase (PK) activity were increased with the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling during wound healing in mice. TEPP-46, an allosteric activator of PKM2, enhanced HaCaT human keratinocyte migration and cutaneous wound healing with an increment of PK activity. Moreover, we confirmed the effect of co-treatment with TEPP-46 and KY19382, a Wnt/β-catenin signaling activator through the interference with the CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5) Dishevelled interaction, on wound healing. The combination treatment significantly accelerated wound healing, which was confirmed by the expression level of PCNA, keratin 14, and α-SMA. Furthermore, co-treatment induced angiogenesis in the wound beds. Overall, activation of both glycolysis and Wnt/β-catenin signaling has the potential to be used as a therapeutic approach for wound healing.
