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

backgroundChronic wound pathogenesis involves impaired angiogenesis. While negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) clinically promotes angiogenesis, its biomechanical mechanisms remain unclear.

methodsA mechanical stretching model simulating NPWT was established in vitro. Multiomics approaches (single-cell sequencing, Ch-IP, Co-IP, and molecular docking) were employed to dissect HSP90-related regulatory networks. Typical molecular biological techniques are used to detect the expression of relevant proteins. Moreover, a rat dorsal wound model was used for the animal experiments.

resultsNPWT-induced mechanical stimulation activates the GNAS/CREB1/HSP90 axis, increasing HSP90 transcription via CREB1 nuclear translocation. Elevated HSP90 displaces Cav-1 to augment eNOS Ser1177 phosphorylation, driving angiogenesis to promote wound healing. Pharmacological or genetic disruption of GNAS/CREB1 suppresses HSP90 expression and angiogenic capacity.

conclusionThis study reveals a GNAS-mediated mechanotransduction pathway that activates HSP90-dependent eNOS signaling to accelerate wound angiogenesis, suggesting novel targets for therapeutic intervention.
