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

Diabetes is a global health problem, with diabetic wounds constituting one of its most severe complications. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their receptor, the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), play a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic wounds. Accumulated AGEs bind to RAGE, activating various inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways such as NF-κB, PI3K-AKT, and JAK-STAT signaling, impairing normal wound healing. This review describes mechanisms by which the AGEs-RAGE axis disrupts vascular function, immune regulation, and cellular regeneration, thereby driving the formation of chronic non-healing wounds. Furthermore, we discuss emerging therapeutic strategies targeting the AGEs-RAGE axis, such as selective RAGE inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, gene-based interventions, and AGE scavengers, highlighting their potential to enhance the treatment of diabetic chronic wounds.
