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

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a substance that stimulates the proliferation of hepatocytes which promote healing. We developed a macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanosphere drug delivery system containing HGF for the study of burn wound healing. Twenty-seven Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: a saline control (NS) group, an engineered macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanospheres (ETMM@NPS) group, and an engineered macrophage membrane-encapsulated nanospheres treatment with HGF-loaded gene (HGF@ETMM@NPS) group.The wound tissue sections were examined histologically using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson trichrome staining. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were performed to determine the expression of relevant proteins. The wound-healing, blood flow and complete epithelialization rates were significantly better in the HGF@ETMM@NPS group compared to the NS and ETMM@NPS groups. Expression of B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X-protein was significantly lower, and B-cell lymphoma 2, cluster of differentiation 31, HGF, alpha smooth muscle actin, and PCNA expression was significantly higher in the HGF@ETMM@NPS group compared with the other two groups. PCNA and HGF expression was significantly up-regulated in the HGF@ETMM@NPS group. The HGF@ETMM@NPS complex drug delivery system used in this research promoted wound healing via effective delivery of HGF to burn wounds, thereby accelerating skin cell growth and migration.
