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

The aim of this study was to investigate the regenerative effect of lyophilized dental follicle mesenchymal stem cells (DF-MSCs) combined with rat platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on geriatric skin wounds. Human DF-MSCs which were isolated from the wisdom teeth of healthy donors and PRF were mixed and incubated in a 37 °C incubator for 1-2 h containing 1 million cells in 150 mg PRF. The mixture was suspended in a freeze-drying solution and then lyophilized. Wounds were created on the back skin of Wistar albino rats using a 6 mm punch. Lyophilized DF-MSCs, PRF, or PRF + DF-MSCs were applied to the wounds of rats. On the 15th day, the wound area was histopathologically evaluated in rats. Blood samples from rats were analyzed for total antioxidant status (TAOS), and inflammatory cytokine levels using ELISA. In both young and geriatric rats treated with lyophilized PRF + DF-MSCs, wound area began to significantly decrease from the 10th day compared to the untreated group (p < 0.05). Histopathological examination revealed that in the lyophilized PRF + DF-MSCs treated groups, epithelial integrity and scarless healing significantly increased compared to the untreated groups (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in TAOS, total oxidant status (TOS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL6), and hydroxyproline levels in serum samples from young rats on the 15th day. In geriatric rats, hydroxyproline (HYPS) levels were increased in the DF-MSC and PRF + DF-MSC groups (p < 0.01), TNF was significantly elevated in PRF geriatric group and IL6 was increased in the PRF group compared to the control group (p = 0.01). Lyophilized PRF + DF-MSCs, which is a shelf-stable and ready-to-use product, hold promise, especially for traumatic wounds in geriatric individuals with longer healing times.
