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

As a complex and dynamically regulated process, wound healing is collaboratively carried out by multiple types of cells. However, the precise mechanisms by which these cells contribute to immune regulation are not yet fully understood. Although research on bone regeneration has been quite extensive, the application of bioactive glass (BG) in skin tissue repair remains still relatively underexplored. The review focuses on the principles and the latest progress of using BGs for skin tissue repair, highlighting BGs' special performance requirements, including biological activity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antibacterial properties, emphasizing their potential for skin tissue repair. In addition, BGs play a substantial role in regulating various inflammatory cells (neutrophils, macrophages, mast cells, etc.) and tissue repair cells [fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), etc.] involved in wound healing. The review also covers recent developments in composite materials incorporating BGs, demonstrating their ability to promote angiogenesis, inhibit wound biofilms, and improve inflammatory responses in chronic wounds. Furthermore, BGs have shown effectiveness in promoting epithelial regeneration and collagen deposition in burn wounds as well as their applications in scar management and post-tumor resection wound care. Finally, we summarize our views on challenges and directions in the emerging field of BGs for skin tissue regeneration research in the future.
