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

backgroundDiabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes and a leading cause of lower limb amputation due to impaired wound healing. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic option for DFUs because of their angiogenic, immunomodulatory, and regenerative properties. However, studies on the molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways of ADSCs in DFUs are limited.

aimTo investigate the dose-response relationship, the optimal administration route, persistence, and molecular mechanisms of ADSCs in DFU healing.

methodsIn this study, human ADSCs were isolated and cultured, and their differentiation potential was characterized. A DFU mouse model was established to evaluate the dose-dependent effects and persistence of ADSCs administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly. Wound closure rate, angiogenesis, inflammation, and collagen deposition were assessed in the ADSC-treated and model groups. Additionally,

resultsADSC treatment significantly enhanced wound closure, promoted angiogenesis, modulated inflammatory responses, and accelerated tissue regeneration in the DFU model. Notably, the therapeutic efficacy and retention of ADSCs were influenced by both dosage and administration route, with subcutaneous injection of 5 × 10

conclusionADSCs effectively promote DFU healing and have clinical potential as a treatment for chronic non-healing diabetic wounds. These findings provide a foundation for optimizing ADSC-based therapies for treating DFUs.
