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.
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
Reconstruction of full-thickness wounds remains a major clinical challenge. Full-thickness skin grafts (FTSG) are considered an ideal reconstructive option as they reconstitute both epidermal and dermal layers of skin; however, their use is limited by donor site availability and potential donor site morbidity. Dermal regeneration templates (DRTs) were introduced decades ago to reduce dermal harvesting needs and promote formation of a 'neodermal' layer, improving both functional and cosmetic outcomes. However, current DRTs are limited by slow vascularization, typically requiring 2-4 weeks for integration. To address these limitations, we developed DermiSphere hDRT, a hydrogel dermal regeneration template, a biphasic collagen-based matrix combining a type I collagen hydrogel with densely packed collagen microspheres. The resulting differential-density interfaces generate a gradient microstructure that supports efficient cellular infiltration and neovascularization. Using a swine model, we evaluated early host response and vascular invasion into hDRT without an overlying graft. By Postoperative Day (POD) 3, hDRT was fully integrated with the wound bed and resistant to manual shear, whereas the market-leading DRT (MLT) showed minimal adherence. Quantitative histology revealed significantly greater cellular and endothelial invasion in hDRT, with CD31+ vascular channels penetrating nearly halfway through the construct. By POD 7, hDRT generated thicker neodermal tissue with extensive vascular networks extending into new granulation tissue. By POD 10, hDRT exhibited organised collagen remodelling and interconnected vertical and horizontal vessel growth, while MLT remained incompletely incorporated. These results demonstrate that hDRT's unique microarchitecture accelerates cellular infiltration and neovascularization, enabling faster, more reliable formation of a vascularized neodermal layer for full-thickness skin repair.
