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

Wound healing is a complex physiological process for maintaining skin integrity after a wound. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are excellent cellular candidates for wound healing, which could be enhanced by exogenous stimulation. We aimed to explore the role of δ-Tocotrienol (δ-TT) in BMSC ability of wound healing. Firstly, transcriptome and single-cell analysis were used to explore the genes and pathways related to ferroptosis in wound tissues. In vitro, cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of δ-TT-BMSCs were detected. In addition, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence (IF) were applied for observing the promoting wound healing ability of δ-TT-BMSC conditioned medium (CM) on NIH-3T3 and PAM-212 cells. The level of ferroptosis was determined by the mitochondrial membrane potential and total/lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cells and the morphological changes of mitochondria were observed by transmission electron microscope. The BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) expression and activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were detected by IF and western blot (WB). The effect of δ-TT-BMSCs on wound healing was observed in vivo. The regulatory mechanism of δ-TT-BMSCs on ferroptosis was verified by IHC and IF staining. In vitro, δ-TT-BMSCs declined the level of lipid ROS in NIH-3T3 and PAM-212 cells and enhanced mitochondrial membrane potential. In vivo, δ-TT-BMSCs promoted wound healing in mice by decreasing ferroptosis. In terms of mechanism, δ-TT-BMSCs inhibited the expression of BACH1 and activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This study demonstrated the ability of δ-TT-BMSCs to promote wound healing by inhibiting BACH1-related ferroptosis. In addition, PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was activated by δ-TT-BMSCs and could be involved in wound healing. δ-TT-BMSCs might be a promising strategy for treating wounds.
