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

Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in the wound healing process by supplying essential nutrients and oxygen to regenerating tissues thereby supporting tissue remodeling. Promoting the formation of new blood vessels is, therefore, a critical therapeutic strategy, particularly for ischemic and chronic wounds, where impaired blood supply often leads to delayed or incomplete healing. However, the development of effective pro-angiogenic biomaterials remains a challenge. In this work, by incorporating natural spider silk proteins (SSP) with poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofiber via electrospinning, we developed a pro-angiogenic wound dressing. The incorporation of SSP led to a reduction in fiber diameter and the formation of a hierarchical structure that mimics the native extracellular matrix. Moreover, the combined effects of these biophysical and SSP-derived biochemical cues synergistically enhanced vascular regeneration, resulting in significant improvements in three key angiogenic parameters compared to pure PLLA controls: a 16.3% increase in blood vessel count, a 118.6% increase in vascular branching and a 32.8% increase in total vessel length.
