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

backgroundBone marrow-derived progenitors for both epithelial and endothelial cells have been observed in the lung. Besides mature endothelial cells (EC) that compose the adult vasculature, endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are supposed to be released from the bone marrow into the peripheral blood after stimulation by distinct inflammatory injuries. Homing of ex vivo generated bone marrow-derived EPC into the injured lung has not been investigated so far. We therefore tested the hypothesis whether homing of EPC in damaged lung tissue occurs after intravenous administration.

methodsEx vivo generated, characterized and cultivated rat bone marrow-derived EPC were investigated for proliferation and vasculogenic properties in vitro. EPC were tested for their homing in a left-sided rat lung transplant model mimicking a severe acute lung injury. EPC were transplanted into the host animal by peripheral administration into the femoral vein (10(6) cells). Rats were sacrificed 1, 4 or 9 days after lung transplantation and homing of EPC was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. EPC were tested further for their involvement in vasculogenesis processes occurring in subcutaneously applied Matrigel in transplanted animals.

resultsWe demonstrate the integration of intravenously injected EPC into the tissue of the transplanted left lung suffering from acute lung injury. EPC were localized in vessel walls as well as in destructed lung tissue. Virtually no cells were found in the right lung or in other organs. However, few EPC were found in subcutaneous Matrigel in transplanted rats.

conclusionTransplanted EPC may play an important role in reestablishing the endothelial integrity in vessels after severe injury or at inflammatory sites and might further contribute to vascular repair or wound healing processes in severely damaged tissue. Therapeutic applications of EPC transplantation may ensue.
