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

Current wound-healing strategies still fall short in achieving scarless regeneration. Adult wounds often heal in the form of scars, leading to functional impairment and aesthetic concerns. In contrast, fetal wounds exhibit a remarkable capacity for scarless regeneration due to their unique immune environment and regenerative cellular responses. This review systematically elucidates the key mechanisms underlying scarring and contrasts them with the hallmarks of fetal scarless healing. We then comprehensively explore engineering strategies to minimize scar formation in adults, with a focus on the combined application of regenerative biomaterials, bioactive factors, and cell therapies. Particularly emphasis is placed on novel intelligent biomaterials for reprogramming wound immune microenvironment and precise delivery strategies of "spatiotemporal sequential" or "on-demand". These innovations signify a shift toward precise and controlled therapeutic intervention, offering new pathways for skin regeneration that enhances both functionality and aesthetics.
