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

backgroundPrevention or reversal of peritoneal damage is critical in peritoneal dialysis. Although autologous cell transplantation has beneficial effects on tissue repair in various organs, few studies have investigated the effects of transplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) on peritoneal fibrosis (PF). Thus, we examined the mechanism of facilitated peritoneal reconstruction induced by ASC transplantation on chlorhexidine gluconate (CG)-induced PF in rats.

methodsTo induce PF in rats, continuous-infusion pumps containing 8 % CG were placed in the abdominal cavity for 21 days. The pumps were removed on day 22 and ASCs were immediately injected into the peritoneal cavity. Morphological alterations and mRNA expression levels of fibrosis-related factors were examined on days 29 and 35.

resultsASC transplantation significantly facilitated peritoneal repair. mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers such as Snail and α-smooth muscle actin were suppressed, whereas that of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) were overexpressed after ASC transplantation. Immunofluorescence indicated that some transplanted ASCs expressed VEGF and PDGF-BB and differentiated into vascular cells.

conclusionsASC transplantation facilitates peritoneal repair by suppressing EMT and modulating inflammation and angiogenesis during the early phase of tissue repair in experimental PF.
