Islet-derived stem cells from adult rats participate in the repair of islet damage.

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.
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
This study investigated the role of adult islet-derived stem cells in repairing islet damage. Using intraperitoneal injection of cerulein, a rat model of acute pancreatitis was induced in an experimental group. The expression of the protein c-kit, a pancreatic stem cell marker, was observed using immunohistochemistry at set intervals following successful model preparation. Pathological changes in pancreatic tissues were also observed using routine hematoxylin and eosin staining. Cells with positive c-kit staining were rarely observed in normal tissues. At all observation intervals after the induction of acute pancreatitis, c-kit staining was restricted to the islets. Over the course of observations, staining changed from low to high intensity, and then back to low intensity again. The primary pathological manifestation in the experimental group was edematous pancreatic tissues with local necrotic lesions. These findings suggested that c-kit positive cells are likely to be a type of pancreatic progenitor cell that is involved only in the self-repair of islet damage and does not migrate.
