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

backgroundCardiac- (CSC) and mesenchymal-derived (MSC) CD117+ isolated stem cells improve cardiac function after injury. However, no study has compared the therapeutic benefit of these cells when used autologously.

methodsMSCs and CSCs were isolated on day 0. Cardiomyopathy was induced (day 28) by infusion of L-isoproterenol (1,100 ug/kg/hour) from Alzet minipumps for 10 days. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was infused via minipumps (50 mg/mL) to identify proliferative cells during the injury phase. Following injury (day 38), autologous CSC (n = 7) and MSC (n = 4) were delivered by intracoronary injection. These animals were compared to those receiving sham injections by echocardiography, invasive hemodynamics, and immunohistochemistry.

resultsFractional shortening improved with CSC (26.9 ± 1.1% vs. 16.1 ± 0.2%, p = 0.01) and MSC (25.1 ± 0.2% vs. 12.1 ± 0.5%, p = 0.01) as compared to shams. MSC were superior to CSC in improving left ventricle end-diastolic (LVED) volume (37.7 ± 3.1% vs. 19.9 ± 9.4%, p = 0.03) and ejection fraction (27.7 ± 0.1% vs. 19.9 ± 0.4%, p = 0.02). LVED pressure was less in MSC (6.3 ± 1.3 mmHg) as compared to CSC (9.3 ± 0.7 mmHg) and sham (13.3 ± 0.7); p = 0.01. LV BrdU+ myocytes were higher in MSC (0.17 ± 0.03%) than CSC (0.09 ± 0.01%) and sham (0.06 ± 01%); p < 0.001.

conclusionsBoth CD117+ isolated CSC and MSC therapy improve cardiac function and attenuate pathological remodeling. However, MSC appear to confer additional benefit.
