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

After tendon rupture repair, the healing tendon tissue is characterized by an initial, immature deposition of collagen III, which is gradually replaced by mature collagen I. Due to common complications like re-rupture and peritendinous adhesions, a coaxially electrospun DegraPol tube releasing PDGF-BB was developed and tested in a rabbit Achilles tendon full-transection model after pulling it over the conventionally sutured tendon. Beyond cellularity and vascularization, the collagen I-to-III ratio serves as a key indicator of the healing progress. We provide comprehensive data on this ratio at three weeks post surgery, using two methods: Herovici (HV) dual-colour staining and immunohistochemical labelling (IHC) for collagen I and III. Ratios were calculated via colour histograms: red-to-blue for HV, and red-to-green for DAB stained IHC. Data are provided for five distinct anatomical zones: native tendon (NZ), similar-to-native (SZ), reactive zone/interface (RZ), hot zone/core (HZ), and intraspun zone within the fiber mesh pores (IS).
