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 and immune cells have long been appreciated for their contribution to the early immune response after injury; however, much less is known about the role of mesenchymal cells. Using single-nuclei RNA sequencing, we defined changes in gene expression associated with inflammation 1 day after wounding in mouse skin. Compared with those in keratinocytes and myeloid cells, we detected enriched expression of proinflammatory genes in fibroblasts associated with deeper layers of the skin. In particular, SCA1+ fibroblasts were enriched for numerous chemokines, including CCL2, CCL7, and IL-33, compared with SCA1- fibroblasts. Genetic deletion of Ccl2 in fibroblasts resulted in fewer wound-bed macrophages and monocytes during injury-induced inflammation, with reduced revascularization and re-epithelialization during the proliferation phase of healing. These findings highlight the important contribution of fibroblast-derived factors to injury-induced inflammation and the impact of immune cell dysregulation on subsequent tissue repair.
