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

objectivesTo investigate the mechanism by which chitosan (CS) hydrogel loaded with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (HUVECs)-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-exos) (Exos@CS-Gel) improves diabetic wound healing.

methodshUCMSC-exos were extracted and Exos@CS-Gel was prepared. The effect of Exos@CS-Gel on proliferation and migration of HUVECs were evaluated using scratch wound assay and CCK-8 assay. Diabetic rat models with full-thickness skin wounds established by streptozotocin induction were randomized divided into 4 groups for treatment with Exos@CS-Gel (100 µg hUCMSC-exos dissolved in 100 µL 24% CS hydrogel), hUCMSC-exos (100 µg hUCMSC-exos dissolved in 100 µL PBS), CS hydrogel (100 µL 24% CS hydrogel), or PBS (control group). Wound healing and the therapeutic mechanisms were assessed using immunohistochemistry, HE staining, immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR.

resultsIn cultured HUVECs, Exos@CS-Gel treatment significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration. In the rat models of chronic diabetic wounds, the wound healing rate in Exos@CS-Gel group reached 92.7% on day 14, significantly higher than those in hUCMSC-exos group (9.12%), CS hydrogel group (16.28%), and control group (25.98%). Microvessel density and the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor β-1 were significantly increased in the Exos@CS-Gel group.

conclusionsExos@CS-Gel promotes survival capacity of hUCMSC-exos
