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

objectivesThe present study evaluated the degradation of collagen matrix (CM) immersed in tetracycline (TTC) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in diabetic and normoglycemic rats. MATERIALS AND

methodsDiabetes was induced in 15 rats by systemic streptozotocin (STZ) (experimental); 15 healthy rats served as controls. One day before implantation 60 CM disks, 5 mm in diameter, were labeled with biotin: 30 were immersed in tetracycline (TTC) and 30 in PBS. One disk of each type was implanted subdermally in each rat. Animals were euthanized after 3 weeks, and tissue specimens containing the disks were prepared for histologic analysis. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin was used to detect the remaining biotinylated collagen. Residual collagen area within the CM disks was analyzed and compared to baseline.

resultsDiabetes significantly increased the CM degradation. Immersion of the CM disks in a 50-mg/mL TTC solution before implantation decreased its degradation both in diabetic and normoglycemic rats.

conclusionsDiabetes significantly increases collagen matrix degradation; immersion of collagen matrix in TTC before implantation decreases its degradation in both diabetic and normoglycemic conditions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Immersion of medical collagen devices in TTC may be an effective means to decrease their resorption rate and increase their effectiveness, especially in situations with increased degradation such as diabetes.
