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: Artificial dermis is an essential biomaterial for reconstructing full-thickness skin defects. Pelnac G Plus® is a collagen-gelatin sponge (CGS) that can be impregnated with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), offering sustained release and proven clinical efficacy. However, the off-label use of bFGF by impregnation remains restricted under current pharmaceutical regulations in Japan. In this study, we evaluated the wound healing potential of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an alternative bioactive substance when impregnated into CGS. Methods: Full-thickness skin defect models were created in nude rats and treated with artificial dermis alone (CGS group), artificial dermis + PRP (CGS + PRP group), or artificial dermis + bFGF (CGS + FGF group). Results: On postoperative day 14, the CGS + PRP group exhibited significantly greater collagen thickness and vascular density than the CGS group. Furthermore, the CGS + PRP group showed a smaller wound area than the CGS + FGF group Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that bFGF and PRP exert distinct effects on wound healing in a secondary-intention model. bFGF effectively promoted dermis-like granulation tissue regeneration without accelerating contraction, supporting its use in anatomical sites where scar contracture must be avoided. In contrast, PRP enhanced wound contraction and ulcer area reduction, suggesting clinical utility in non-healing ulcers where delayed secondary healing is a major concern.
