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 metabolic disease that affects global human health, with 25% of diabetic patients suffering from chronic non-healing ulcers. Omentin-1, also referred to as intelectin-1 and encoded by the itln1 gene, is a recently discovered adipokine that modulates inflammation, cellular activities, and vascular tone. Research indicates that omentin-1 provides protective benefits in several conditions, including atherosclerosis and diabetic retinopathy. Nevertheless, the therapeutic potential of omentin-1 in promoting diabetic wound healing is still not well understood. Our results revealed a significant decrease in ITLN1 levels in the cutaneous tissues of diabetic mice. Subcutaneous injection of omentin-1 reduced endothelial cell apoptosis, enhanced angiogenesis, and accelerated wound repair in diabetic mice. In vitro studies demonstrated that omentin-1 upregulated VEGF expression in endothelial cells, improved endothelial function under high-glucose conditions, reduced high glucose-induced endothelial apoptosis, and promoted endothelial tube formation. Further mechanistic studies revealed that omentin-1 improved endothelial function and promoted angiogenesis under high-glucose conditions by mediating the PI3K/AKT/FOXO1 pathway. Our results suggest that omentin-1 is a potential adjunct or therapeutic agent for treating chronic non-healing diabetic wounds by enhancing endothelial cell function and promoting vascularization.
