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

introductionFerroptosis significantly compromises diabetic wound healing and represents a promising therapeutic target for clinical intervention. Baicalein (Bai), a natural flavonoid, has been considered to own ferroptosis-regulating properties, while the underlying mechanisms remain understood.

objectivesThe study aims to investigate potential mechanisms by which Bai inhibits ferroptosis in endothelial cells and validate the therapeutic efficacy of Bai-loaded hydrogel on diabetic wounds.

methodsHigh-glucose-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were chosen to study Bai's molecular mechanisms inhibiting ferroptosis. Subsequently, a Bai@GA/Gel/Zn

resultsIn vitro experiments, HUVECs were observed to exhibit characteristic ferroptosis, which were induced by high-glucose (HG) microenvironment, leading to compromised cellular functions. Through the inhibition of ferroptosis in HUVECs, Bai effectively promoted cell growth, migration, and angiogenesis. Herein, we further reveal that Bai inhibits HG-induced ferroptosis by modulating the Keap1/NRF2/HIF-1α signaling axis. To optimize therapeutic delivery, Bai was encapsulated into supramolecular nanofibers self-assembled from glycyrrhizic acid (GA), followed by cross-linking with gelatin (Gel) and zinc ions (Zn

conclusionIn summary, our findings reveal the ferroptosis-inhibiting mechanism of Bai and develop a Bai@GA/Gel/Zn
