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

Neurodegenerative diseases are still a challenge for researchers and clinicians due to its complexity. Traditional medicines usually do not provide sufficient protection against these diseases due to drug resistance and relapse. The discovery of the therapeutic potential of stem cells offers new opportunities for the treatment of incurable neurological diseases. Based on their biological properties, stem cells can differentiate into specific tissue type and maintain the cellular tissue/organ homeostasis in physiological and pathological conditions. Recently, it has been demonstrated that somatic cells of patients can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state from which neural lineage cells can be derived. Potential strategies such as cell replacement therapy and gene transfer to the diseased or injured brain have opened a new line of therapeutic approach for a broad spectrum of human neurological diseases. Thus, stem cell replacement therapy for central and peripheral nervous system disorders aims at repopulating the affected neural tissue with new neurons. However, the limiting factors that have hampered the development of this promising therapeutic approach are the lack of suitable cell types for cell replacement therapy in patients suffering from neurological disorders. In this review, we have discussed the recent advances in stem cell replacement therapy with particular emphasis to neurological disorders.
