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

purposeTo establish PET as a tool for in-vivo quantification and monitoring of intramyocardially transplanted stem cells after labelling with FDG in mice with induced myocardial infarction.

methodsAfter inducing myocardial infarction in C57BL/6 mice, murine embryonic stem cells were labelled with FDG and transplanted into the border zone of the infarction. Dynamic PET scans were acquired from 25 to 120 min after transplantation, followed by a scan with 20 MBq FDG administered intravenously for anatomical landmarking. All images were reconstructed using the OSEM 3D and MAP reconstruction algorithms. FDG data were corrected for cellular tracer efflux and used as marker for cellular retention. FACS analysis of transplanted cells expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein was performed to validate the PET data.

resultsWe observed a rapid loss of cells from the site of transplantation, followed by stable retention over 120 min. Amounts of retention were 5.3 ± 1.1 % at 25 min, 5.0 ± 0.9 % at 60 min and 5.7 ± 1.2 % at 120 min. FACS analysis showed a high correlation without significant differences between the groups (P > 0.05). FDG labelling did not have any adverse effects on cell proliferation or differentiation.

conclusionUp-to-date imaging is a powerful method for tracking and quantifying intramyocardially transplanted stem cells in vivo in the mouse model. This revealed a massive cell loss within minutes, and thereafter a relatively stable amount of about 5 % remaining cells was observed. Our method may become crucial for further optimization of cardiac cell therapy in the widely used mouse model of infarction.
