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

objectiveNon-healing diabetic foot ulcers are a leading cause of disability and death in diabetic patients, which often results in lower limb amputation. This study aimed to investigate the impact of biomarkers on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers by utilizing dynamic serum proteomics and skin proteomic analysis, combined with clinical case follow-up studies.

methodsTo analyze dynamic serum proteomic changes in four groups, age-matched normal subjects, diabetic patients, pretreatment diabetic foot ulcer patients, and healed diabetic foot ulcer patients were selected. The differential proteins were screened in conjunction with normal and diabetic foot ulcer skin proteomics. In this study, a total of 80 patients with diabetic foot ulcers were enrolled and monitored for 3-6 months during treatment. To verify the significance of the differential proteins, age-matched diabetic patients (240 patients) and healthy controls (160 patients) were included as controls.

resultsDynamic serum proteomics trend showed that the level of negative regulatory proteins related to endothelial cell migration, angiogenesis, and vascular development was significantly decreased after treatment of diabetic foot ulcer. GO enrichment analysis suggested that differentially expressed proteins were mainly enriched in protein activation cascade, immunoglobulin production, and complement activation. The researchers identified the core proteins APOA1, LPA, and APOA2 through a convergence of serum and skin proteomics screening. Clinical cases further validated that APOA1 levels are decreased in diabetic foot ulcer patients and are correlated with disease severity. In addition, animal experiments showed that APOA1 could promote wound healing in diabetic mice.

conclusionsBased on our dynamic proteomics and clinical case studies, our bioinformatic analysis suggests that APOA1 plays a critical role in linking coagulation, inflammation, angiogenesis, and wound repair, making it a key protein that promotes the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
