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

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) have proven beneficial in the repair and preservation of infarcted myocardium. Unfortunately, MSCs represent a small portion of the bone marrow and require ex vivo expansion. To further advance the clinical usefulness of cellular cardiomyoplasty, derivation of "MSC-like" cells that can be made available "off-the-shelf" are desirable. Recently, human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal cells (hESC-MC) were described. We investigated the efficacy of hESC-MC for cardiac repair after myocardial infarction (MI) compared to hMSC. Because of increased efficacy of cell delivery, cells were embedded into collagen patches and delivered to infarcted myocardium. Culture of hMSC and hESC-MCs in collagen patches did not induce differentiation or significant loss in viability. Transplantation of hMSC and hES-MC patches onto infarcted myocardium of athymic nude rats prevented adverse changes in infarct wall thickness and fractional area change compared to a non-viable patch control. Hemodynamic assessment showed that hMSCs and hES-MC patch application improved end diastolic pressure equivalently. There were no changes in systolic function. hES-MC and hMSC construct application enhanced neovessel formation compared to a non-viable control, and each cell type had similar efficacy in stimulating endothelial cell growth in vitro. In summary, the use of hES-MC provides similar efficacy for cellular cardiomyoplasty as compared to hMSC and may be considered a suitable alternative for cell therapy.
