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

Background and Aims: The skin serves essential protective and regulatory functions. In severe injuries such as burns, keratinocytes-being the main epidermal cells-play a pivotal role in skin regeneration through secretion of growth factors and cytokines. This review explores the biology of keratinocytes and their application in treating skin disorders and developing skin substitutes. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing studies on the therapeutic use of allogeneic and autologous keratinocytes in wound healing and skin regeneration. Research on cultured epidermal substitutes, including keratinocyte-based grafts and engineered skin constructs, was also reviewed. Results: Findings indicate that autologous keratinocyte transplantation-such as auto-dermatoplasty using a patient's own skin-has been highly effective in treating extensive burns and postsurgical wounds. However, in cases where sufficient donor skin is unavailable, alternative approaches such as keratinocyte culture combined with collagen gel and fibroblasts have shown promising results. Clinical studies demonstrate that epidermal keratinocyte-based therapies significantly reduce scarring, enhance wound healing, and improve survival rates in patients with severe burns. Conclusion: Given their high proliferation capacity, accessibility, and ability to differentiate into epidermal layers, keratinocytes represent a valuable tool for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Future advancements in keratinocyte-based therapies and bioengineered skin substitutes hold significant potential for improving outcomes in patients with critical skin injuries.
