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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a potential useful source for cell-based glioma therapies because these cells evidence both orthodox and unorthodox plasticity and also show tropism for cancer. In this study, the authors attempted to access the cytotoxicity of human umbilical cord blood (hUCB)-derived MSCs, with or without cytokine activations against malignant glioma cells. MATERIALS AND

methodshUCB-derived MSCs were activated by interleukin-2, interleukin-15, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and combinations. The hUCB-derived MSCs and activated hUCB-derived MSCs were effector cells. The cytotoxicity of the unactivated hUCB-derived MSCs and activated hUCB-derived MSCs against the target cells (human malignant glioma cells) was estimated via visual survival cell assays and transwell inserts. Phenotypic changes occurring in these hUCB-derived MSCs before and after cytokine activation were determined via flow cytometry. The secreted proteins from these effector cells were estimated via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.

resultsWe noted a significant cytotoxicity of hUCB-derived MSCs against malignant glioma cells. In addition, the hUCB-derived MSCs activated with cytokines evidenced significantly higher cytotoxicity than that observed with unactivated hUCB-derived MSCs. Differentiated immune effectors cells from the hUCB-derived MSCs after cytokine activation were not shown to have increased in number. However, the activated hUCB-derived MSCs secreted more immune response-related proteins (interleukin 4, interferon-gamma) than did the unactivated hUCB-derived MSCs.

conclusionThe data collected herein confirm for the first time that hUCB-derived MSCs, with or without activation, evidence significant cytotoxicity against human malignant glioma cells, and the immune response-related proteins secreted in this process may perform relevant functions.
