Progenitor cells: therapeutic targets after traumatic brain injury.
Article in Translational stroke research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Traumatic brain injuries and their associated treatments carry high cost in both financial impact and morbidity to human life. Recent studies and trials present promising results in reducing secondary injury in the days and weeks following the primary insult. A number of studies, both pre-clinical and clinical, have found that different populations of stem/progenitor cells result in a reduction of inflammation, maintenance of the blood brain barrier, and an overall improved prognosis. The mechanism of action of these cellular therapies appears to rely upon the ability of the cells to influence microglia/macrophage phenotype and alter the state of the inflammatory response. The spleen has become an area of intense interest as an arena where therapeutic cells interact with reactive macrophages to cause system-level changes in immune activity. Additionally, the spleen enacts anti-inflammatory responses originating in the CNS, delivered through vagal activity with a recently described mechanism culminating in acetylcholine release. This review provides a summary of recent findings as to the mechanisms of action observed in current cellular therapies.
