Mini review on collagens in normal skin and pathological scars: current understanding and future perspective.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Pathological scar tissues are characterized by the presence of overabundant collagens whose structure and organization are also different from those in unwounded skin. This causes scar tissues to lose some functions performed by normal skin, and currently, there are no effective measures to prevent scar formation. Inflammation has been shown to modulate fibroblast proliferation, differentiation, and function, hence collagen production and organization. In this minireview, we provide an overview of the current understanding of collagen, specifically collagen type I and III which are main collagens in skin, structure and fibre formation and highlight their differences between normal skin and pathological scars. We discuss the role that cytokines play in modulating fibroblast function. We also identify some potential research directions which could help to further our understanding of the complex and dynamic wound healing and scar formation process.
