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

purposeDevelopment of multimodal imaging strategies is currently of utmost importance for the validation of preclinical stem cell therapy studies. PROCEDURES: We performed a combined labeling strategy for bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSC) based on genetic modification with the reporter genes Luciferase and eGFP (BMSC-Luc/eGFP) and physical labeling with blue fluorescent micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIO) in order to unambiguously identify BMSC localization, survival, and differentiation following engraftment in the central nervous system of mice by in vivo bioluminescence (BLI) and magnetic resonance imaging and postmortem histological analysis.

resultsUsing this combination, a significant increase of in vivo BLI signal was observed for MPIO-labeled BMSC-Luc/eGFP. Moreover, MPIO labeling of BMSC-Luc/eGFP allows for the improved identification of implanted cells within host tissue during histological observation.

conclusionsThis study describes an optimized labeling strategy for multimodal stem cell imaging resulting in improved quantitative and qualitative detection of cellular grafts.
