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

Diabetic wound healing remains a significant clinical challenge because of hyperglycaemia-induced cellular senescence, impaired angiogenesis, and chronic inflammation. To address these issues, we developed a multifunctional hydrogel (GelMA/PNS/Alg@IGF-1) that integrates gelatine methacryloyl (GelMA), Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS), and sodium alginate microspheres encapsulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). This hydrogel was engineered to achieve gradient and sustained release of bioactive agents to target senescence and promote vascular repair. In vitro studies demonstrated that the hydrogel significantly reduced oxidative stress, suppressed senescence markers and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes, and restored endothelial cell function under high-glucose conditions by inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation. Transcriptomic analysis revealed the modulation of pathways linked to inflammation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. This hydrogel accelerated diabetic wound closure in a rat model in vivo and enhanced collagen deposition, granulation tissue formation, and neovascularization. Furthermore, the hydrogel mitigated oxidative stress and cellular senescence and promoted tissue remodelling. The synergistic effects of PNS and IGF-1 within the hydrogel established a pro-regenerative microenvironment to address both pathological ageing and vascular dysfunction. These findings highlight GelMA/PNS/Alg@IGF-1 as a promising therapeutic platform for diabetic wound management, as this material offers dual anti-senescence and proangiogenic efficacy to overcome the complexities of chronic wound healing.
