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

Introduction: Delayed wound healing remains a significant clinical challenge under diabetic conditions, characterized by chronic inflammation and impaired angiogenesis. Traditional treatments show limited efficacy, highlighting the urgent need for innovative therapeutic approaches. Methods: This study investigated the therapeutic potential of exosomes derived from subcutaneous adipocytes (Adipo-EVs) using a diabetic mouse model. Adipo-EVs were locally administered to full-thickness wounds, and healing efficiency was evaluated through wound closure kinetics, histopathology (H&E, Masson's trichrome), immunohistochemistry (Ki67,α-SMA), and molecular analysis (qPCR, proteomics). The role of the enriched protein Carm1 was validated via siRNA knockdown Results: Adipo-EVs significantly accelerated wound closure, increased cellular proliferation, enhanced collagen deposition, and improved myofibroblast differentiation. Mechanistically, Adipo-EVs suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) while upregulating IL-10 and promoting angiogenesis (elevated CD31 Discussion: Our findings demonstrate that exosomal Carm1 critically modulates inflammation and angiogenesis to enhance diabetic wound healing. This study reveals Carm1 as a pivotal therapeutic component of adipocyte-derived exosomes, offering a novel strategy for managing chronic diabetic wounds.
