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

unlabelledTracking stem/progenitor cells through noninvasive imaging is a helpful means of assessing the targeting of transplanted cells to specific organs. We performed in vitro and in vivo studies wherein adult human hepatocytes and human fetal liver stem/progenitor cells were labeled with indium-111 ((111)In)-oxine and technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)-Ultratag or (99m)Tc-Ceretec. The labeling efficiency and viability of cells was analyzed in vitro, and organ biodistribution of cells was analyzed in vivo after transplantation in xenotolerant nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficiency mice through intrasplenic or intraportal routes. We found that adult hepatocytes and fetal liver stem/progenitor cells incorporated (111)In but not (99m)Tc labels. After radiolabeling, cell viability was unchanged. Transplanted adult hepatocytes or fetal liver stem/progenitor cells were targeted to the liver more effectively by the intraportal rather than the intrasplenic route. Transplanted cells were retained in the liver after intraportal injection and in the liver and spleen after intrasplenic injection, without translocations into pulmonary or systemic circulations. Compared with fetal liver stem/progenitor cells, fewer adult hepatocytes were retained in the spleen after intrasplenic transplantation. The distribution of transplanted cells in organs was substantiated by genetic assays, including polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA sequences from a primate-specific Charcot-Marie-Tooth element, and in situ hybridization for primate alphoid satellite sequences ubiquitous in all centromeres.

conclusion(111)In labeling of human fetal liver stem/progenitor cells and adult hepatocytes was effective for noninvasive localization of transplanted cells. This should facilitate continued development of cell therapies through further animal and clinical studies.
