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

aimsClinical application of cellular therapy for cardiac regeneration is significantly hampered by the low retention of engrafted cells, mainly attributable to the poor microenvironment dominated by inflammation and oxidative stress in the host's infarcted myocardium. This study aims at investigating whether liver X receptor (LXR) agonist T0901317 will improve survival of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) after transplantation into infarcted hearts.

resultsNoninvasive in vivo bioluminescence imaging and histological staining showed that LXR agonist T0901317 improved the retention and survival of intramyocardially injected AD-MSCs. Moreover, combined therapy of LXR agonist and AD-MSCs inhibited host cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reduced fibrosis, and improved cardiac function, while it concomitantly decreased inflammatory cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6) and increased growth factor (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor) expression in infarct myocardium. To reveal possible mechanisms, AD-MSCs were subjected to hypoxia/serum deprivation (H/SD) injury to simulate ischemic conditions in vivo. The LXR agonist (10(-7) mM) improved AD-MSC survival under H/SD condition. Western blot revealed that the LXR agonist reduced TLR4, TRAF-6, and MyD88 protein expression, inhibited IκBα phosphorylation and NF-κB-p65 nuclear translocation, which resulted in accelerated Keap-1 protein degradation, enhanced Nrf-2 nuclear translocation, and increased HO-1 protein expression. INNOVATION AND

conclusionLXR agonist can enhance the functional survival of transplanted AD-MSCs in infarcted myocardium, at least partially, via modulation of the TLR4/NF-κB and Keap-1/Nrf-2 signaling pathways. Moreover, combined therapy of LXR agonist and AD-MSCs has a synergetic effect on cardiac repair and functional improvement after infarction.
