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

Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is the standard of care for skin replacement therapy. While STSG is a well-established technique, it has several limitations at both the donor and recipient sites. Full-thickness skin column (FTSC) grafting is an alternative approach that involves the orthogonal harvesting of small skin columns containing the epidermis, dermis, and associated skin appendages. Peptides have been shown to promote wound repair through various reparative and regenerative mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the extent to which FTSCs and the matrix-derived peptide TSN6, individually or in combination, influenced the rate and quality of healing, as assessed by metrics such as epithelialization, epithelial thickness, and the presence of adnexal structures. TSN6 peptide and its scrambled form was synthetized in a laboratory and mixed with a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) hydrogel. Up to 16 standardized full-thickness excisional wounds (∅ 5 cm) were created on the dorsum of two anesthetized pigs. FTSC biopsies (∅ 1.5 mm) were harvested from donor sites located on the rump of the pig at a ratio of up to eight 1.5 mm-diameter skin columns/1 cm
