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

backgroundLiver fibrosis results from excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix, which affects liver function over time and leads to its failure. In the past, liver transplant was thought to be the only treatment for end-stage liver disease, but due to the shortage of proper donors other medical treatments have been taken into consideration.

objectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effects of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) in CCl4 damaged rats.

methodsLiver damage in adult male Wistar rats was induced with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). The rats were divided into normal control group, receiving CCl4, and those receiving CCl4 + marrow derived-MSC. Human BM-MSC was isolated, cultured, and characterized. The rats were injected with xenograft MSCs into the hepatic lobes of the liver. In the eighth week, blood samples were taken from all groups. Histological examination and biochemical analyses were used to compare the morphological and functional liver regeneration among different groups. Measurement of lipid peroxidation and glutathione transferase activity was also performed.

resultsHistopathology and biochemical analyses indicated that local injection of human BM-MSCs was effective in treating liver failure in the rat model. Furthermore, oxidative stress was attenuated by increased level of GSH content after MSC transplantation.

conclusionEvidence of this animal model approach showed that bone marrow-derived MSCs promote an antioxidant response and support the potential of using MSCs transplantation as an effective treatment modality for liver disease.
