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

introductionHealing full-thickness wounds is often challenging and time-consuming, with complications such as scarring and infections. The standard treatment, split skin grafting, has limitations due to the availability of healthy donors and suitability for immunocompromised patients.

methodsAutologous platelet lysate (PL) has been popular for tissue regenerative potential because it contains growth factors (GF) and is a safer option for bedridden patients with weak immune systems. However, PL has inconsistent clinical efficacy, high costs, and a short half-life. To address these issues, this study explores a novel delivery system by fabricating a chitosan/nanocrystalline cellulose (CS/NCC) hydrogel to sustainably deliver autologous PL to the wound site. Notably, NCC was prepared from kenaf bast fibers using acid hydrolysis and integrated into the CS matrix through physical entrapment without any chemical crosslinkers. The composite hydrogel was then enriched with autologous PL and further characterized for its physicochemical properties,

resultsHistological analysis indicated enhanced re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen deposition. Particularly, the CS-NCC-PL hydrogel group showed a significantly higher hydroxyproline content (60.62 ± 11.46 μg/100 mg) by day 14. Immunohistochemistry results revealed elevated levels of α-SMA and CD31, markers of myofibroblast presence and angiogenesis, peaking at day 7.

conclusionThese findings suggest that the CS-NCC-PL hydrogel is a promising personalized wound dressing for bedridden patients, offering improved healing outcomes in hospital settings.
