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

Chronic oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) biosynthesis, and angiogenesis inhibition are key factors contributing to delayed diabetic wound healing. Restoring mitochondrial homeostasis through NAD⁺ replenishment and reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination shows therapeutic potential, yet its effective translation requires multifunctional dressings that combine NAD⁺ supplementation, ROS-responsive antibacterial activity, and localized therapeutic agent delivery to advance diabetic wound healing. Herein, we developed a nanozyme-integrated ROS-responsive microneedle patch (NMN@Cu/CeO₂-MN) for co-delivering nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and Cerium oxide copper nanozymes (Cu/CeO₂). NMN was electrostatically loaded into PEI-functionalized nanozymes to enhance NAD⁺ biosynthesis. The patch was constructed with a methacryloylated gelatin (GelMA)-based needle tip embedded with composite nanozymes and a polyvinyl alcohol/phenylboronic acid-modified poly-L-lysine (PVA/EPL-PBA) antibacterial needle base. This design enables sustained and localized delivery while providing robust antibacterial and pro-regenerative properties. NMN@Cu/CeO₂-MN promoted endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation, and mitochondrial homeostasis by scavenging intracellular ROS and restoring NAD⁺ metabolism. In diabetic mice, the patch significantly enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, alleviated inflammation, and accelerated wound healing through activation of the SIRT1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, accompanied by enhanced angiogenesis and collagen deposition. These findings suggest that NMN@Cu/CeO₂-MN represents a potent therapeutic strategy targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic imbalance in diabetic wound repair.
