Review in Kidney international supplements, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Mesenchymal stromal cells (mSCs) are presently studied for the prophylaxis and therapy of a variety of diseases such as acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, cardiac indications, bone degeneration, Crohn's disease, and organ rejection, as well as prevention of acute renal failure in high-risk situations. mSCs appear to function through paracrine mechanisms that exert immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, mitogenic, and other organ-protective and repair-stimulating actions. mSCs are either cultured in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS) or platelet lysate (PL). PL lysate-generated mSCs exhibit faster doubling times, different gene expression profiles, and more potent immunosuppressive activity compared with FSC-generated mSCs. The utility of mSCs in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases is being evaluated in prospective studies.
