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

Our study aims to investigate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on microRNA-155 (miR-155) in the granulation tissue of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and its correlation with wound healing. A total of sixty patients diagnosed with DFUs were randomly assigned to either the NPWT group (n = 40) or the Non-NPWT group (n = 20) in a 2:1 ratio. After debridement, the NPWT group received NPWT treatment for one week, while the Non-NPWT group underwent routine dressing therapy. The expression of miR-155 in DFU granulation tissues was evaluated by qRT-PCR before and after treatment for one week. Following termination, wound healing rates were assessed in the NPWT group, and the correlation between variations in miR-155 expression (ΔmiR-155) and wound healing was analyzed pre and post NPWT treatment. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of negative pressure on variations of miR-155 expression, as well as proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). The NPWT group showed a decrease in miR-155 expression in wound granulation tissue compared with pre-treatment [4.12 (1.22, 14.85) vs. 6.83 (2.15, 15.72), P < 0.05]. Conversely, there was no statistically significant difference in miR-155 expression in wound granulation tissue between pre-treatment and post-treatment in the Non-NPWT group (P > 0.05). However, analysis revealed a positive correlation between ΔmiR-155 and wound healing rate after 4 weeks in the NPWT group (χ
