Cold Atmospheric Plasma Enhances Fn14 Signaling in Hair Follicle Stem Cells, Thereby Promoting the Healing of Diabetic Skin Wounds in a Mouse Model.
Article in Journal of immunology research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The healing of diabetic skin wounds is often delayed due to cellular dysfunction and oxidative stress. Recently, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has shown promising efficacy in treating diabetic wounds; however, its exact mechanism remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the effect of CAP on fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) signaling-mediated hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) functionality, which may contribute to the healing of diabetic wounds. In vitro experiments were conducted to analyze the effect of CAP treatment on HFSC proliferation, cytokine production, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related protein expressions. Animal experiments were performed to verify the effect of CAP treatment on a mouse type 1 diabetic wound model. CAP enhanced both Fn14 expression and HFSC proliferation, accompanied by the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Expressions of Sirt1, Nrf2, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, and Sox9, which were initially suppressed under high glucose conditions, were significantly restored upon CAP stimulation. Moreover, CAP-activated hydrogel promoted diabetic wound healing in this mouse model. Furthermore, inhibition of Fn14 abrogated the promotive effect of CAP intervention. Fn14 signaling is a key mediator, mechanistically linking CAP to HFSC activation and tissue repair. These findings provide a therapeutic blueprint for CAP-based regeneration of diabetic wounds.
