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

Background: Gelatin hydrogel nonwoven fabrics (Genocel) are three-dimensional gelatin scaffolds that provide cells with space for proliferation, migration, and differentiation. They are expected to be an effective wound healing modality to treat intractable wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, because they enhance early neovascularization when used as a skin substitute. In this study, we explored the healing process of Genocel applied to skin defects in diabetic mice and compared it with that of a conventional skin substitute, Pelnac. Methods: Genocel and Pelnac sheets were used to treat skin defects on the backs of diabetic mice. On days 7 and 14, the remaining wound area was evaluated and specimens were harvested for HE, Azan, anti-CD31, CD68, and CD163 staining to assess neoepithelialization, granulation tissue formation, capillary formation, and macrophage infiltration. Results: Wounds treated with Genocel showed a wound healing process comparable to that of wounds treated with Pelnac. No significant differences were observed in the remaining wound area, neoepithelial length, granulation formation, number of pan-macrophages, or M2 ratio on days 7 and 14. The only significant difference was the number of induced M2 macrophages, which was higher in Pelnac group than in the Genocel group on day 7 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Genocel showed similar healing effects in diabetic wounds as Pelnac and is considered an effective wound management modality for diabetic ulcers.
