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

Wound healing involves a complex and dynamic interplay among various cell types, cytokines, and growth factors. Macrophages and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) play an essential role in different phases of wound healing. Cold atmospheric plasma has a wide range of applications in the treatment of chronic wounds. Hence, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of a custom-made plasma device in a full-thickness skin defect mouse model. Here, we investigated the wound tissue on days 6 and 12 using histology, qPCR, and western blotting. During the inflammation phase of wound repair, macrophages play an important role in the onset and resolution of inflammation, showing decreased F4/80 on day 6 of plasma treatment and increased TGF-β1 levels. The plasma-treated group showed better epidermal epithelialization, dermal fibrosis, collagen maturation, and reduced inflammation than the control group. Our findings revealed that floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD)-based atmospheric-pressure plasma promoted significantly faster wound healing in the plasma-treated group than that in the control group with untreated wounds. Hence, plasma treatment accelerated wound healing processes without noticeable side effects and suppressed pro-inflammatory genes, suggesting that FE-DBD-based plasma could be a potential therapeutic option for treating various wounds.
