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

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of immune cells and also the most underestimated cell defenders in the human body. In fact, their lifespan has also been extensively revised in recent years, going from a half-life of 8-10 h to a longer lifespan of up to 5.4 days in humans; it has been discovered that their mechanisms of defense are multiple and finely modulated, and it has been suggested that the heterogeneity of neutrophils occurs as well as in other immune cells. Neutrophils also play a critical role in the wound healing process, and their involvement is not limited to the initial stages of defense against pathogens, but extends to the inflammatory phase of tissue reconstruction. Neutrophil heterogeneity has recently been reported at the presence of distinct subtypes expressing different functional states, which contribute uniquely to the different phases of innate immunity and wound healing. This heterogeneity can be induced by the local microenvironment, by the presence of specific cytokines and by the type of injury. The different functional states of neutrophils enable a finely tuned response to injury and stress, which is essential for effective healing. Understanding the functional heterogeneity of neutrophils in wound healing can unveil potential pathological profiles and therapeutic targets. Moreover, the understanding of neutrophil heterogeneity dynamics could help in designing strategies to manage excessive inflammation or impaired healing processes. This review highlights the complexity of neutrophil heterogeneity and its critical roles throughout the phases of wound healing.
