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

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process by which epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal cell characteristics, is well recognized for its critical role in development, wound healing, tissue fibrosis, and cancer progression. During wound healing, keratinocytes undergo a partially reversible EMT process to promote migration and re-epithelialization. In this paper, we review the regulatory roles of key signaling pathways (TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch) and core transcription factors (Snail, Slug, Twist) in EMT, explore the parallels between re-epithelialization and EMT, and outline recent therapeutic advances and future developments targeting EMT in wound healing. In addition, we call for the adoption of the term "epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity" (EMP) to more accurately describe the dynamic processes that occur during keratinocyte migration and re-epithelialization.
