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

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease characterized by impaired insulin secretion, reduced insulin sensitivity, and hyperglycemia. Diabetic wounds are among the major complications of T2DM and can lead to chronic wounds due to challenges in the normal healing process. In this study, a three-layered tissue scaffold incorporating microneedles (MNs) was developed for diabetic wound management. The scaffold was fabricated using digital light processing (DLP) for the GelMA-based layers and electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) for the surface coating, combining antibacterial, metabolic, and antioxidant functions within a single platform. The first two layers were designed using gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and produced via DLP. The first layer was loaded with the antibiotic amoxicillin to prevent infection at the scaffold application site. In the second layer, MNs containing metformin were designed. For the outermost layer, polylactic acid (PLA) microparticles containing antioxidant and antibacterial salicylic acid (SA) were produced via the EHDA method and coated onto the scaffold surface. This three-layered scaffold was characterized by SEM, FT-IR, DSC, and mechanical, swelling, degradation, and penetration analyses.
