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

Myeloid-derived growth factor (MYDGF) is a monocyte- and macrophage-secreted protein with anti-apoptotic and pro-angiogenic properties that has demonstrated protective effects in models of myocardial ischemia, but its role in peripheral ischemic injury has not been evaluated. We investigated the effects of recombinant human MYDGF (hMYDGF) in a murine hindlimb ischemia model. Male C57BL/6 mice underwent femoral artery ligation and were treated with continuous subcutaneous infusion of recombinant hMYDGF, vehicle control, or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a positive control. Limb perfusion was assessed longitudinally using laser speckle contrast imaging, and functional recovery was evaluated using standardized limb function scoring. Recombinant hMYDGF significantly improved blood flow recovery in the ischemic limb compared with vehicle at all post-surgical time points, achieving levels of perfusion comparable to VEGF. Improved perfusion translated into accelerated early functional recovery, with a greater proportion of recombinant hMYDGF-treated mice retaining normal toe flexion. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed significantly increased CD34
