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

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that results from an inflammatory destruction of β-cells in islets. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton's jelly (WJ-MSCs) own a peculiar immunomodulatory feature and might reverse the inflammatory destruction and repair the function of β-cells. Sixty NOD mice were divided into four groups, including normal control group, WJ-MSCs prevention group (before onset), WJ-MSCs treatment group (after onset), and diabetic control group. After homologous therapy, onset time of diabetes, levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fed blood glucose and C-peptide, regulation of cytokines, and islet cells were examined and evaluated. After WJ-MSCs infusion, FPG and fed blood glucose in WJ-MSCs treatment group decreased to normal level in 6-8 days and maintained for 6 weeks. Level of fasting C-peptide of these mice was higher compared to diabetic control mice (P=0.027). In WJ-MSCs prevention group, WJ-MSCs played a protective role for 8-week delayed onset of diabetes, and fasting C-peptide in this group was higher compared to the other two diabetic groups (P=0.013, 0.035). Compared with diabetic control group, frequencies of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs in WJ-MSCs prevention group and treatment group were higher, while levels of IL-2, IFN-γ, and TNF-α were lower (P<0.001); the degree of insulitis was also depressed, especially for WJ-MSCs prevention group (P<0.05). Infusion of WJ-MSCs could aid in T1DM through regulation of the autoimmunity and recovery of islet β-cells no matter before or after onset of T1DM. WJ-MSCs might be an effective method for T1DM.
