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

Long-term inflammation and impaired angiogenesis are thought to be the causes of delayed healing or nonhealing of diabetic wounds. S100A12 is an essential pro-inflammatory factor involved in inflammatory reactions and serves as a biomarker for various inflammatory diseases. However, whether high level of S100A12 exists in and affects the healing of diabetic wounds, as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms, remain unclear. In this study, we found that the serum concentration of S100A12 is significantly elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Exposure of stratified epidermal cells to high glucose environment led to increased expression and secretion of S100A12, resulting in impaired endothelial function by binding to the advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) or Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on endothelial cell. The transcription factor Krüpple-like Factor 5 (KLF5) is highly expressed in the epidermis under high glucose conditions, activating the transcriptional activity of the S100A12 and boost its expression. By establishing diabetic wounds model in alloxan-induced diabetic rabbit, we found that local inhibition of S100A12 significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing by promoting angiogenesis. Our results illustrated the novel endothelial-specific injury function of S100A12 in diabetic wounds and suggest that S100A12 is a potential target for the treatment of diabetic wounds.
