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

This study manufactured a 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment (HA35) by enzymatically degrading high-molecular-weight HA using hyaluronidase PH20 derived from bovine testis. The research then examined the therapeutic efficacy of locally administered, tissue-permeable HA35 in alleviating chronic wounds and their associated neuropathic pain. For 20 patients with nonhealing wounds and associated pain lasting over three months, 100 mg of HA35 was injected daily into the healthy skin surrounding the chronic wound for 10 days. Self-assessments before and after treatment indicated that HA35 significantly enhanced wound healing. This was evidenced by the formation of fresh granulation tissue on the wounds (p < 0.0001); reduced darkness, redness, dryness, and damage in the skin surrounding the wounds (p < 0.0001), and a decrease in wound size (p < 0.001). Remarkably, HA35 injections alleviated pain associated with chronic wounds within 24 hours (p < 0.0001). It can be concluded that the low-molecular-weight hyaluronan fragment HA35 potentially enhances the immune response and angiogenesis during wound healing.
