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

purposesTo avoid unwanted adverse effects of higher doses of single treatment of stem cells and gene therapy and increase the therapeutic efficacies, we hypothesized the combined therapy with stem cells and gene therapy. This study assessed the neuroprotective effects of combined gene therapy and stem cell treatment under ischemic hypoxia conditions using hypoxia-inducible vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC).

methodsExperimental groups included the control which was N2A cells transfected with empty vectors, the transfection only group which was N2A cells treated with pEpo-SV-VEGF alone, the BMSC only group which was N2A cells transfected with empty vectors and cocultured with BMSCs, and the combined treatment group which was N2A cells treated with pEpo-SV-VEGF and cocultured with BMSCs. Each group was transfected for 4 h and cultured at 37 degrees C and 5% CO2 for 24 h. Each group was then cultivated under hypoxic conditions (1% O2) for 12 h. Neuroprotective effects were assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, annexin V, and cytotoxicity assay.

resultsNeurons exposed to hypoxic conditions exhibited neuronal apoptosis. Compared to single treatments, the combined hypoxia-inducible VEGF and BMSC treatment demonstrated a significant increase in VEGF expression and decreased neuronal apoptosis.

conclusionsThese results suggest that combined pEpo-SV-VEGF and BMSC treatment is effective in protecting neurons against hypoxic ischemic injury.
