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

Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2 or bFGF) is critical for optimal wound healing. Experimental studies show that local application of FGF2 is a promising therapeutic approach to stimulate tissue regeneration, including for the treatment of chronic wounds that have a low healing potential or are characterised by a pathologically altered healing process. However, the problem of low efficiency of growth factors application due to their rapid loss of biological activity in the aggressive proteolytic environment of the wound remains. Therefore, ways to preserve the efficacy of FGF2 for wound treatment are being actively developed. This review considers the following strategies to improve the effectiveness of FGF2-based therapy: (1) use of vehicles/carriers for delivery and gradual release of FGF2; (2) chemical modification of FGF2 to increase the stability of the molecule; (3) use of genetic constructs encoding FGF2 for de novo synthesis of protein in the wound. In addition, this review discusses FGF2-based therapeutic strategies that are undergoing clinical trials and demonstrating the efficacy of FGF2 for skin wound healing.
