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

BACKGROUND

aimsAdult stem cells produce a plethora of extracellular matrix molecules and have a high potential as cell-based therapeutics for connective tissue disorders of the skin. However, the primary challenge of the stem cell-based approach is associated with the inefficient homing of systemically infused stem cells to the skin.

methodsWe examined chemotactic mechanisms that govern directional migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the skin by conducting a comprehensive expression analysis of chemotactic molecules in MSCs and defined cutaneous tissues from normal and hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (EB)-affected skin.

resultsAnalysis of chemokine receptors in short-term and long-term MSC cultures showed tissue culture-dependent expression of several receptors. Assessment of epidermis-derived and dermis-derived chemokines showed that most chemotactic signals that originate from the skin preferentially recruit different sets of leukocytes rather than MSCs. Analysis of the chemotactic molecules derived from EB-affected non-blistered skin showed only minor changes in expression of selected chemokines and receptors. Nevertheless, the data allowed us to define the Ccl27-Ccr10 chemotactic axis as the most potent for the recruitment of MSCs to the skin. Our in vivo analysis demonstrated that uniform expression of Ccr10 on MSCs and alteration of Ccl27 level in the skin enhance extravasation of stem cells from circulation and facilitate their migration within cutaneous tissue.

conclusionsCollectively, our study provides a comprehensive analysis of chemotactic signals in normal and EB-affected skin and proof-of-concept data demonstrating that alteration of the chemotactic pathways can enhance skin homing of the therapeutic stem cells.
