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.
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
Objective: Hypertrophic scars (HS) are a fibrotic proliferative disorder that results from an abnormal wound healing process, presenting significant challenges for clinical intervention. The primary characteristics of HS include excessive collagen deposition and angiogenesis. In recent years, the study of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their derived exosomes has emerged as a prominent area of research within the academic community. However, the therapeutic application of MSCs is impeded by several challenges, including immune rejection, sourcing limitations, ethical dilemmas, and difficulties related to the scalability of exosome production. Cell-free adipose extract (CEFAE), a novel bioproduct derived from adipose tissue, is rich in various active protein factors that are essential for MSCs and their exosomes. CEFAE presents several advantages, including low immunogenicity, non-tumorigenicity, and a high degree of clinical safety. However, the application of CEFAE in the prevention and treatment of scar formation has not been adequately validated through experimental studies. Methods: This research established a rabbit ear scar model, establishing a control group, a low-concentration CEFAE group (L-CEFAE), and a high-concentration CEFAE group (H-CEFAE) to evaluate wound treatment. Observations of scar changes were conducted at 14 and 28 days post-treatment, supplemented by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Results: Histological analysis revealed that the H-CEFAE group achieved optimal outcomes, with the lowest collagen deposition, thinnest epidermal/dermal thickness, and the most orderly collagen alignment. Furthermore, the formation of new blood vessels in the H-CEFAE group showed a significant reduction over time, resulting in decreased blood supply, which is beneficial for suppressing scar tissue development. Quantification of COL I, COL III, and vascular endothelial growth factor also supports these results. Conclusion: The findings indicated that high-concentration CEFAE has a beneficial preventive and therapeutic effect on scar proliferation. Furthermore, the study explored the potential mechanisms by which CEFAE inhibits scar proliferation, thereby providing novel therapeutic strategies for the prevention and management of clinical scars.
