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

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and debilitating complication of diabetes, often leading to delayed wound healing. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play a crucial role in regulating cellular metabolism and promoting angiogenesis. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which the activation of PPARs enhances wound healing, particularly under diabetic conditions, as these mechanisms remain inadequately understood. Methods: Differentially expressed genes in DFU wounds and normal skin tissues were identified using the GEO database. PPAR expression in DFU neovascularization was validated by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, immunofluorescence, and western blotting. Results: PPAR expression was significantly downregulated in DFU tissues ( Conclusions: PPAR signaling plays a critical role in DFU healing, with its inhibition linked to vascular dysfunction. Activation of the PPARs/SHH-mitochondrial axis significantly enhances endothelial cell metabolism and angiogenesis. This study provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of diabetic wound healing and supports the clinical potential of PPAR agonists for DFU treatment.
