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

Skin grafting, a conventional treatment for wound management, is associated with significant limitations including donor-site morbidity, scarring, incomplete functional restoration, and limited efficacy in extensive or chronic wounds. Cell-based therapies, especially those involving combination therapy of keratinocytes and fibroblast, are an emerging and promising alternative. This review discusses the biological roles of keratinocytes and fibroblasts in skin homeostasis and wound repair, focusing on their crosstalk that regulate inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, and re-epithelialization. It examines the principles of cell-based skin regeneration, comparing autologous and allogeneic therapeutic strategies, stem cell sources, and delivery platforms including scaffolds, hydrogels, and bioengineered skin substitutes. Clinical evidence demonstrates that bilayered constructs have superior clinical outcomes compared with monotherapies, in burn care and chronic wound management.The review seeks to highlight current limitations and future directions, including scaffold optimization and appendage regeneration, to advance the development of more functional and durable skin substitutes for wound healing.
