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

Skin microbiota emerged as an important factor in modulating all aspects of the wound healing process, with the potential utilization of residing microbes as biological therapeutics. Commensal or probiotic bacteria represent a first layer of the cutaneous barrier protection, inhibiting detrimental effects of pathogens and modulating cutaneous immune response. In this review, we highlight the latest findings on pro-healing ability of a new subclass of probiotic-derived products named postbiotics, defined as preparations of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer a health benefit on the host. By mimicking the beneficial effect of live probiotics, postbiotics have the ability to restore healthy skin microbiome through inhibition of pathogen colonization and biofilm formation. Postbiotics also regulate skin epithelial barrier function and cutaneous immune response to suppress intracellular pathogen invasion. In order to effectively restore barrier breach, postbiotics stimulate multiple cellular components of the cutaneous wound healing process. This review describes molecular and cellular aspects of host-postbiotics interactions during cutaneous wound healing and provides a current viewpoint of therapeutic potential and advantages of postbiotics application for treatment of cutaneous wound healing disorders. In the era of rising antimicrobial resistance and epidemic proportions of wound healing disorders, probiotic-based therapeutics offer safe, effective and yet underutilized solutions for unmet clinical need.
