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

Wound healing includes four consecutive and overlapping stages of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Factors such as aging, infection, and chronic diseases can lead to chronic wounds and delayed healing. Low-temperature cold plasma (LTCP) is an emerging physical therapy for wound healing, characterized by its safety, environmental friendliness, and ease of operation. This study utilized a self-developed LTCP device to investigate its biological effects and mechanisms on wound healing in adult and elderly mice. Histopathological studies found that LTCP significantly accelerated the healing rate of skin wounds in mice, with particularly pronounced effects in elderly mice. LTCP can markedly inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (
