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

Purpose: Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are prevalent chronic wounds with limited treatment options. This study aimed to investigate the potential of berberine to enhance endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function in VLU healing. Methods: Histopathological changes and inflammatory cytokine levels in a deep venous thrombosis (DVT) mouse model were assessed using HE staining and ELISA assays. A luciferase reporter assay was employed to identify the miR-21-3p and RRAGB targeting relationship. EPC proliferation, migration, and tube formation were evaluated through CCK-8, Transwell, and tubule formation assays, while the mTOR pathway and autophagy-related proteins were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. Results: Berberine significantly improved EPC functions, such as proliferation, migration, and tube formation Conclusion: Berberine shows promise in ameliorating EPC function and promoting wound healing in VLUs. The regulation of the miR-21-3p/RRAGB axis by berberine could offer a promising therapeutic approach for managing VLUs.
