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

introductionChronic wounds present a significant challenge in clinical practice due to complications like infections and prolonged healing times. Conventional treatments often fall short, necessitating advancements in wound healing strategies. This article introduces a novel approach using a combination of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) from fat and growth factors from platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to enhance wound healing outcomes.

methodsThe Fakih-Manay fat membrane device was utilized to prepare fat membranes. Microfat was harvested and emulsified to produce nanofat, which was then combined with PRF to create a Nanofat-PRF membrane. The resulting membrane was uniform, versatile, and suture-friendly, making it ideal for various medical and surgical applications.

resultsBetween April 2019 and April 2024, 172 patients received treatment using a nanofat membrane. The membrane showed significant improvement in wound healing in various cases including diabetic foot ulcers, cleft palate surgeries, facial dermabrasion, skin necrosis, revision rhinoplasties, and post-cosmetic surgery complications. Postoperative follow-up after healing ranged from 1 to 16 months, showing high patient satisfaction and significant improvements in wound healing and no reported complications.

conclusionThe nanofat membrane presents a versatile and innovative approach to enhancing healing across a broad range of medical and surgical applications. This study provides the first evidence on the method for creating these membranes, demonstrating their clinical efficacy and safety, with no reported complications over a 5-year period.
