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

introductionMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have potential for re-epithelization and recovery in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In a previous in vitro study, the results showed that the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway promoted the differentiation of MSCs into type II alveolar epithelial cells, conferred resistance to oxidative stress, and promoted their migration, suggesting that the Wnt/β-catenin pathway might be one of the key mechanisms underling the therapeutic effect of mouse MSCs in ARDS.

methodsMouse MSCs stable transfected with β-catenin or green fluorescent protein control were transplanted intratracheally into the ARDS mice induced by lipopolysaccharide. Lung tissue injury and repair assessment were examined using haematoxylin and eosin staining, lung injury scoring, Masson's trichrome staining and fibrosis scoring. Homing and differentiation of mouse MSCs were assayed by labelling and tracing MSCs using NIR815 dye, immunofluorescent staining, and Western immunoblot analysis. The inflammation and permeability were evaluated by detecting the cytokine and protein measurements in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsIn this study, β-catenin-overexpressing MSC engraftment led to more significant effects than the GFP controls, including the retention of the MSCs in the lung, differentiation into type II alveolar epithelial cells, improvement in alveolar epithelial permeability, and the pathologic impairment of the lung tissue.

conclusionThese results suggest that the activation of canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway by mouse MSCs by overexpressing β-catenin could further improve the protection of mouse MSCs against epithelial impair and the therapeutic effects of mouse MSCs in ARDS mice.
