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 absence of multi-functional antimicrobial agents in clinical settings hinders cutaneous wound healing. Milk-derived antimicrobial peptides (MAPs) may be the imperative solution to wound repair, combining the dermatic curative properties of antimicrobial peptides with the biological activity of milk. Three novel MAPs, which were hLFT-68 (IAENRADAV) and hLFT-309 (GSPSGQKDLLF) identified in human milk and bLGB-111 (LDTDYKKY) identified in bovine milk in our previous work, were initially investigated for their function in wound healing. In vitro, the antibacterial activity and cellular mechanism of the MAPs were examined. It was found that they presented inhibition for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, decreased the secretion of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α), and promoted fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation. An infected wound model was established to evaluate the in vivo anti-inflammatory and regeneration properties of the MAPs. The wound area shrank more rapidly, and the wound inflammation was reduced by MAP treatment. Especially on days 3-5 after mouse modeling, the wound repair rate increased by up to 35%. Furthermore, it was suggested that they encouraged collagen synthesis and deposition, and tissue regeneration. The presented results indicated that MAPs accelerated the recovery of infected wounds, possessing the potential for developing wound-healing therapy.
