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

The increasing mean life expectancy of the citizens of the western world countries leads to an increase of the age-related diseases, among them soft tissue defects exhibiting inadequate healing. In order to develop new therapeutic strategies to support disturbed soft tissue repair, there is a strong need of sophisticated in vitro assays. A new assay combining scratch wounding with co-cultures of primary human microvascular endothelial cells (HDMEC) and pericytes (HPC) focuses on basic characteristics of cell interaction against the background of soft tissue repair. The cell parameters proliferation, migration and differentiation, and the release of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were analysed in response to hypoxia (pO2 < 5 mmHg) and to erythropoietin (EPO; 50 IU/ml), a glycoprotein hormone having shown promising effects in soft tissue repair. As basic characteristics of the assay, direct cell contact in co-culture led to a weakened proliferation of both cell types, an increase of the percentage of myofibroblast-like pericytes and to a higher release of MCP-1. Hypoxia caused a proliferation decrease of HPC in co-culture, which was slightly attenuated by EPO. Hypoxia also reduced the MCP-1 release of co-cultured cells, when EPO had been added. In addition, EPO had a rather positive effect on HPC migration under hypoxia. These in vitro results allow new insights into the interaction of pericytes with endothelial cells in the context of soft tissue repair.
