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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate gene expressions of growth factors for angiogenesis, in a three-dimensional (3D) gel populated with adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) in co-culture. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe 3D gel, mixed with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-positive ASCs and DsRed-Express-positive ECs, 1:1 ratio, was established in vitro. The phenomenon of angiogenesis was observed using confocal microscopy. To detect gene expressions for growth factor proteins in both ASCs and ECs, transwell co-culture was used, and cell lysate samples were collected at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. Semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conducted to quantify mRNA expressions of the growth factors.

resultsAngiogenesis was first observed in the gels by 7 days post-implantation. Over this time in ECs, genes coding for VEGFA/B, IGF-1, HIF-1α, FGF-1/-2 and BMP-5/-7 significantly increased. Meanwhile in ASCs, genes coding for VEGFA/B, IGF-1, HIF-1α, FGF-1/-2 and BMP-6 also were significantly enhanced. In particular, increased amounts of IGF-1 and HIF-1α in both ECs and ASCs were prominent relative to other factors.

conclusionsContact co-culture with ASCs and ECs at 1:1 ratio, in the 3D gel promoted angiogenesis; non-contact co-culture further confirmed gene expressions for growth factors, VEGFA/B, IGF-1, HIF-1α and FGF-1/-2 in both ASCs and ECs; BMP-5/-7 in ECs and BMP-6 in ASCs were also confirmed. This establishment of growth factor expression seemed to be responsible for enhancement of angiogenesis. This indicates that these factors could be utilized as targets for engineered angiogenesis.
