Influence of topical NPH-insulin use on wound healing and oxidative stress in alkali corneal burns: an experimental study in a rabbit model.

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
Background: In acute alkali corneal burns, the routine treatment protocol includes suppressing inflammation using corticosteroids. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the role of insulin in wound healing research due to its remarkable positive effects. Aims: The present study aimed to compare the healing effects of dexamethasone -the conventional approach- and NPH-insulin on alkali corneal burns. Methods: An alkali corneal burn was created using Ca (OH) Results: A more successful clinical recovery graph was drawn for group II. Particularly, a significant (P<0.05) improvement was detected in group II on day 21. The highest positivity in MMP-9 corneal staining was found in group I. Group II had a significant (P<0.05) increase in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) values. The treatment groups showed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in total oxidant content (TOC) values and a significant (P<0.05) increase in reduced glutathione (GSH) levels as compared with the control group. Conclusion: Topical NPH-insulin provided rapid and uncomplicated clinical recovery of alkali corneal burns. Insulin and dexamethasone showed similar effects like increased antioxidant molecules and decreased oxidant substances which indicated that insulin may prevent free radical formation in the cornea.
