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 is a complex process that is still not fully understood despite extensive research. To address this, we aimed to design and characterize a standardized porcine model for the evaluation of wound healing, dressings, cell therapies, and pharmaceutical agents. Using a standardized approach, we examined the wound healing process in 1.2 mm-deep dermatome wounds at defined positions in 11 female pigs. Unlike previous studies that have only described/analyzed selected punch biopsies, we performed and described histological analyses along the complete wound length using quantitative morphometric methods. All animals remained fully healthy following surgery and showed no signs of infection. Our histopathological evaluation using a predetermined grading score and quantitative manual morphometry demonstrated the impact of different tissue sampling methods, sampling sites, and residual dermis thickness on wound healing. Our study presents a reproducible model for wound healing evaluation and demonstrates the usefulness of porcine models for assessing dermal and epidermal wound healing. The use of histological analyses over the complete wound length provides advantages over previous studies, leading to the possibility of a deeper understanding of the wound healing process. This model could potentially facilitate future research on novel wound dressings and local wound healing therapies.
