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

backgroundThe differentiation of skin dermal fibroblast into myofibroblast is a critical process in tissue repair and granulation tissue formation, directly affecting the progression of wound healing. While autophagy has been implicated in regulating dermal fibroblast differentiation during wound repair, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely defined. METHODS AND

resultsIn the current study, Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 (TGFβ1) was applied to induce the differentiation of skin dermal fibroblast into myofibroblast. We demonstrated that the activation of autophagy by TGFβ1 stimulation and p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (p38/MAPK) coincided with an increase in stathmin expression. Moreover, the inhibition of p38/MAPK, transfection of small interfering RNA of stathmin or beclin1 significantly suppressed autophagy and differentiation of skin dermal fibroblast into myofibroblast. In contrast, p38/MAPK activation or stathmin overexpression, led to autophagy induction and fibroblast differentiation under TGFβ1 stimulation.

conclusionsOur findings elucidate a novel role of stathmin in regulating differentiation of skin dermal fibroblast into myofibroblast, and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target for clinical wound healing interventions.
