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

Effective wound healing is directly linked to survival. Long-term unhealed wounds impair quality of life and incur significant costs. Electrical stimulation (ES) influences wound healing by modulating signals that regulate cell proliferation, migration, and immune response. In ES treatment, the placement of electrodes is a critical factor, as it impacts the environmental conditions and cell polarity essential for wound healing. This study analyzed the effects of various electrode placements to identify the optimal setup for accelerating wound healing. The optimized electrode placement enhanced wound healing in a rat model of full-thickness skin defect over 17 days, and the electrical field (EF) was analyzed using simulations. In-vivo, the optimized electrode placement achieved a 16.7% reduction in wound area compared to the control group. In simulation, a forward vector of the EF from the optimized electrode placement was observed. The findings suggest that optimizing the electrode placement for ES is beneficial to wound healing.
