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 wounds (DW) represent a significant clinical challenge due to chronic inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and impaired angiogenesis, all of which hinder effective tissue regeneration. Existing drug delivery systems often fail to achieve sustained and targeted therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we developed a novel dissolvable dual-layer methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) microneedle (MN) co-loading selenium-doped carbon quantum dots (Se-CQDs) and Astilbin (AST) for enhanced DW treatment. The outer layer, enriched with Se-CQDs, rapidly scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS), effectively alleviating oxidative stress at the wound site. Sequentially, the inner layer releases AST, exerting potent anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic effects. Preliminary findings suggest these effects may involve the modulation of cytoskeletal dynamics and peroxisome function, contributing to endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis. This controlled, sequential release MN establishes a low-oxidative, anti-inflammatory microenvironment, thereby promoting angiogenesis and accelerating wound repair. The pioneering integration of selenium-doped quantum dots and AST-loaded hydrogels offers a synergistic therapeutic strategy, setting a new standard for advanced diabetic wound care with substantial clinical promise.
