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

Communication between various cell types following wounding is paramount for proper healing and regeneration of injured tissue. Endothelial cells and fibroblasts are critical cellular players involved in cutaneous wound repair, yet their communication mechanisms are not well understood. It has previously been shown that extracellular vesicles derived from endothelial cells (ECEVs) induce dermal fibroblasts to express a gene signature correlated with FGF2-mediated cancer associated fibroblast (CAF) activation, under the control of transcription factor ETV1. In this report, we utilize loss-of-function studies to define the mechanistic role of ETV1 in conferring this ECEV-induced transcriptomic shift and functional change in fibroblasts. Additionally, we identify highly expressed ECEV microRNAs and examine their potential contribution to the ECEV mechanism through downstream gene modulation. In summary, we describe a plausible mechanism by which both ETV1 and top ECEV microRNAs promote a genotypic and phenotypic shift in dermal fibroblasts that have taken up ECEVs.
