Improved lymphangiogenesis around vascularized lymph node flaps by periodic injection of hyaluronidase in a rodent model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) is an advanced surgical approach for secondary lymphedema (SLE) treatment, but tissue fibrosis around the lymph node flap (VLNF) inhibiting lymphangiogenesis is the biggest challenge undermining its therapeutic efficacy. This study explored the effects of periodic hyaluronidase (HLD) injection in reducing fibrosis and promoting lymphangiogenesis in 52 Sprague-Dawley rats with a VLNF over 13 weeks. The results demonstrated that HLD administration significantly enhanced swelling reduction, lymphatic drainage efficiency, and lymphatic vessel regeneration, with up to a 26% decrease in tissue fibrosis around the VLNF. These findings suggest that combining VLNT with periodic injections of HLD could substantially improve SLE treatment outcomes in clinical settings. It offers a promising direction for future therapeutic strategies and drug development aimed at increasing the efficacy of surgical treatment for SLE patients.
