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

Diabetic wounds present a complex pathological microenvironment that severely impairs healing. To address this challenge, we developed a supramolecular double-network hydrogel (CGRP@Rh-GelMA) consisting of a self-assembled rhein network and an in situ UV-crosslinked gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) framework. This design endowed the hydrogel with strong mechanical robustness, wet-tissue adhesion, and sustained dual-drug release of rhein and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). In vitro, CGRP@Rh-GelMA exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and potent reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging capacity. The hydrogel was also associated with reduced neutrophil extracellular trap (NETosis)-related markers, including myeloperoxidase (MPO) and citrullinated histone H3 (H3Cit), as well as a shift in macrophage phenotype toward a reparative M2-like state, thereby contributing to a pro-healing immune microenvironment. In addition, CGRP@Rh-GelMA enhanced endothelial cell migration and vascular network formation in vitro, indicating pro-angiogenic potential. In a diabetic rat wound model, CGRP@Rh-GelMA accelerated wound repair, accompanied by improved immune microenvironment remodeling and neovascularization, resulting in enhanced granulation tissue formation, more organized collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization. Proteomic profiling further revealed inflammation-related pathway changes consistent with suppression of NF-κB signaling and NETosis. Collectively, these findings suggest that CGRP@Rh-GelMA is a mechanically robust and multifunctional biomaterial platform for diabetic wound healing by coordinately promoting immune and vascular repair responses.
