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

Oral mucosal wounds exhibit accelerated healing with reduced scarring compared to cutaneous wounds, representing an optimal wound healing paradigm. However, the specific cellular subtypes orchestrating the efficient healing of mucosal tissues remain elusive. Through a comprehensive analysis integrating bulk-mRNA and single-cell sequencing data during the wound healing process in oral mucosa and skin, we have delineated a distinct set of genes markedly upregulated during tissue repair. This collection of wound healing-associated genesets was highly enriched in a specific keratinocyte subpopulation identified as STAT3-activated SPRR1B+ keratinocytes. Notably, despite the inherent rapidity of oral mucosal healing, the induction of SPRR1B+ keratinocytes is evident in both skin and mucosal wound healing processes in murine model. Intriguingly, these wound healing-promoting SPRR1B+ keratinocytes, which are induced via STAT3 activation, inherently abundant in unwounded normal mucosa but absent in normal skin. SPRR1B knockdown significantly inhibits mucosal keratinocyte migration, a critical attribute for effective wound healing. In summary, through analysis of human oral and skin wound healing processes at single-cell resolution, coupled with validation in murine model, suggests STAT3-activated SPRR1B+ keratinocytes are associated with the rapid mucosal repair process. This discovery underscores the potential application of SPRR1B+ keratinocytes in the therapeutic management of chronic or non-healing wounds.
