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

introductionDifficult healing of chronic wounds is a serious problem for modern medicine. It leads to ulceration, especially in conditions such as diabetic foot syndrome or chronic venous insufficiency. This may be a result of chemical, physical, thermal or biological factors, among others. Analysis of mediators and molecular factors released by the abovementioned structure helps to better understand the mechanism of healing of chronic wounds and the formation of ulcers.

aimTo assess excretion of selected cytokines in patients with ulcerations as a complication of diabetes mellitus type 2. MATERIAL AND

methodsSeventeen patients aged 68-87 took part in the assessment of wound healing in patients with ulceration in the course of diabetes mellitus type 2. The control group consisted of 21 healthy patients aged 32-62. In the blood serum bFGF, TNF-α, IL-4, TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β3 were determined.

resultsA significant difference was found in bFGF, IL-4, TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3 levels. Concentration of bFGF was 12% lower in patients with ulcers than in the non-ulcerated control group (

conclusionsReduced concentrations of selected cytokines and growth factors may indicate abnormal activity of the cells that secrete them and affect the healing process of chronic wounds, hindering and delaying the healing process.
