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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into chondroblasts, adipocytes, or osteoblasts under appropriate stimulation. Mechano-growth factor (MGF) reportedly displays a neuroprotective effect in cerebral regions that were exposed to ischemia and is expressed in stromal cells of the eutopic endometrium and in glandular cells of the ectopic endometrium.

resultsThis study sought to understand the potential involvement of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) in MGF-induced growth of rabbit MSCs (rMSCs). We applied various concentrations of MGF to cultured rMSCs and observed the growth rate of the cells, the changes in the phosphorylation state of AKT and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and the expression levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin. We found that the growth and osteogenic differentiation of MGF-induced rMSCs were promoted primarily by phosphorylated AKT, and that this phosphorylation, as well mTOR phosphorylation, was mediated by the MGF receptor.

conclusionOur study suggests that MGF promotes the growth and osteogenic differentiation of rMSCs primarily through the PI3K/AKT pathway.
