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

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are attractive candidates for tissue regeneration and immunoregulation in inflammatory bowel disease. However, their in vivo reparative capability is limited owing to barren efficiency of BMSCs to injury region. Stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1) plays an important role in chemotaxis and stem cell homing through interaction with its specific receptor CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). The present study was designed to investigate the role of SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis in the therapeutic effects of lentivirus-preconditioned BMSCs for 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-colitis rats. BMSCs were isolated from female Sprague-Dawley rats and identified by flow cytometry. Lentiviral transduction was applied to over-express CXCR4/GFP (Ad-CXCR4-BMSCs) or null/GFP (Ad-GFP-BMSCs). Efficacy of engraftment was determined by the presence of enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) positive cells. One week after intravenous administration, Ad-GFP-BMSCs failed to colonize in the inflamed colon and had no beneficial effect in TNBS-induced colitis. Instead, Ad-CXCR4-BMSCs signally ameliorated both clinical and microanatomical severity of colitis. Immunofluorescence and western blotting showed that Ad-CXCR4-BMSCs migrated toward inflamed colon was more efficient than Ad-GFP-BMSCs. The therapeutic effect of Ad-CXCR4-BMSCs was mediated by the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and STAT3 phosphorylation in injured colon. Collectively, our data indicated that over-expression CXCR4 led to enhance in vivo mobilization and engraftment of BMSCs into inflamed colon where these cells can function as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory component of the immune system in TNBS-induced colitis.
