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

aimTo improve hepatic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) using insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-I), which has important role in liver development, hepatocyte differentiation and function.

methodsBone marrow of healthy donors was aspirated from the iliac crest. The adherent cells expanded rapidly and were maintained with periodic passages until a relatively homogeneous population was established. The identification of these cells was carried out by immunophenotype analysis and differentiation potential into osteocytes and adipocytes. To effectively induce hepatic differentiation, we designed a protocol based on a combination of IGF-I and liver specific factors (hepatocyte growth factor, oncostatin M and dexamethasone). Morphological features, hepatic functions and cytological staining were assessed to evaluate transdifferentiation of human marrow-derived MSCs.

resultsFlow cytometric analysis and the differentiation potential into osteoblasts and adipocytes showed that more than 90% of human MSCs which were isolated and expanded were positive by specific markers and functional tests. Morphological assessment and evaluation of glycogen storage, albumin and α-feto protein expression, as well as albumin and urea secretion revealed a statistically significant difference between the experimental groups and control.

conclusionIn vitro differentiated MSCs using IGF-I were able to display advanced liver metabolic functions, supporting the possibility of developing them as potential alternatives to primary hepatocytes.
