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

Herein, a novel extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel is proposed fabricated solely from decellularized, human fibroblast-derived matrix (FDM) toward advanced wound healing. This FDM-gel is physically very stable and viscoelastic, while preserving the natural ECM diversity and various bioactive factors. Subcutaneously transplanted FDM-gel provided a permissive environment for innate immune cells infiltration. Compared to collagen hydrogel, excellent wound healing indications of FDM-gel treated in the full-thickness wounds are noticed, particularly hair follicle formation via highly upregulated β-catenin. Sequential analysis of the regenerated wound tissues disclosed that FDM-gel significantly alleviated pro-inflammatory cytokine and promoted M2-like macrophages, along with significantly elevated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) level. A mechanistic study demonstrated that macrophages-FDM interactions through cell surface integrins α5β1 and α1β1 resulted in significant production of VEGF and bFGF, increased Akt phosphorylation, and upregulated matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity. Interestingly, blocking such interactions using specific inhibitors (ATN161 for α5β1 and obtustatin for α1β1) negatively affected those pro-healing growth factors secretion. Macrophages depletion animal model significantly attenuated the healing effect of FDM-gel. This study demonstrates that the FDM-gel is an excellent immunomodulatory material that is permissive for host cells infiltration, resorbable with time, and interactive with macrophages, where it thus enables regenerative matrix remodeling toward a complete wound healing.
