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

We induced middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats using silicone-coated vascular embolus. We transplanted mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells after MCAO. Rats were tested behaviorally using motor and sensory function with neurological assessment. Functional effectiveness of the transplanted mES cells gradually improved the function of sensory and motor neurons. This study demonstrated that the transplanted cells have synaptic connection in the recipient brain. We suggest that stem cell transplantation can have a positive effect on behavioral recovery and reduction of infarct size in focal ischemic rats. Cell transplantation may induce certain functional recovery of the brain tissue by endogenous cell mediated effect. Our study suggests that intracerebrally injected mES cells survived and migrated into the infarct area from inoculation site and neuroglially differentiated in the ischemic brain area of adult rats. Therefore, mES cells may be a useful tool for the treatment in neurological diseases. In conclusion, cell transplantation therapy represents a novel approach that may enhance the efficacy and effectiveness of stem cell transplantation after ischemic stroke.
