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

A number of reports suggest that the process of ageing impairs wound repair and that strategies to manipulate the age-related wound healing environment are necessary in order to stimulate repair. The process of cutaneous wound repair is controlled by growth factors in an autocrine and paracrine fashion: it is therefore surprising that the localisation of specific growth factors and their receptors has not been documented in wound healing with respect to chronological age. In this study the temporal profile of growth factor and receptor immunostaining was assessed within acute incisional wounds in an ageing mouse colony. A delay in appearance of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) A and B isoforms, and PDGF-alpha and -beta receptors was evident with increasing animal age, paralleled by a similar finding for epidermal growth factor (EGF) and EGF receptor. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta 1 and 2 isoforms were increased at all time points in the wounds of younger animals, but the TGF-beta 3 isoform increased in intensity from d 7 postwounding in the old mice wounds, and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) from d 14. The quantity and distribution patterns of the various growth factors and their receptors may explain the age-related differences in wound healing speed and quality, and possibly suggest new therapeutic targets for manipulating wound healing in the aged.
