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

objectiveConditioned medium of umbilical cord mesenchymal cells is a rich environment in various growth factors and cytokines, the use of which causes self-improvement and self-renewal in damaged tissues.

methodsTherefore, we investigated the effect of Wharton's umbilical cord mesenchymal cells on cytokines, growth factors expression, and skin wound healing in diabetic rats. Rats were divided into two groups of ten. In the treated diabetic group, 1 ml of conditioned medium was used intradermally, and in the diabetic control group, the same amount of physiological serum was used. The tissue samples were evaluated for histological studies. The expression level of inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors was investigated using RT-PCR and western blotting analysis.

resultsOur results showed that wound healing increased in the diabetic rat group with a pleasant environment compared to the control group. It was also found in molecular studies that the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors was significantly increased in the treated samples compared to the control group. In addition, a significant decrease in TGF-β expression as an important inflammatory cytokine observed compared to the control group.

conclusionsThe use of the conditioned environment of Wharton's jelly mesenchymal cells of the human umbilical cord improves the process of wound healing in terms of tissue and also increases the expression of the critical anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors. It can be considered a novel approach in wound healing treatment.
