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

backgroundStem cell therapy for stroke is in its initial stages as an option to restore lost neurological functions after stroke.

objectiveTo provide a comprehensive review of studies involving stem cells in stroke treatment and to highlight new evidence from the ongoing clinical trials. METHODOLOGY: We performed a systematic study of various published journals in online medical libraries using Pubmed, Sciencedirect, and hajournal. Evidence synthesis is done with specific search words of - stem cell therapy, stroke, trophic factor, neural progenitor cell, pathophysiology, mechanism of action, clinical trial and mesenchymal stem cell in various combinations. Emphasis was given to articles published in year 2000 and onwards.

resultsCurrent research on stem cell therapy for stroke focuses on transplantation and endogenous neurogenesis of stem cells in brain. The sub-ventricular zone in the adult brain is identified as an endogenous resource of neuronal precursors that can be recruited to adjacent lesioned areas. Several factors can increase adult neurogenesis by stimulating formation or improving survival of new neurons, such as FGF-2, EGF, stem cell factor, erythropoietin, BDNF, caspase inhibitors, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Much of the beneficial effects of stem cell in stroke models are related to secretion of trophic factors.

conclusionThe complex pathophysiology involving various trophic factors, growth factor and gene modification in animal studies have showed promising result. Future research involving these trophic factors should open up new additional or clinically significant alternative for the treatment of stroke.
