Therapeutic angiogenesis promotes efficacy of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell transplantation in cardiac repair.

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.
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
objectivesAlthough previous studies have confirmed the beneficial effects of human umbilical cord matrix stem cell (hUCM) transplantation post myocardial infarction (MI), but this stem cell resource has no potential to induce angiogenesis. In order to achieve the process of angiogenesis and cardiomyocyte regeneration, two required factors for cardiac repair agents were examined namely; hUCM and VEGF on an infarcted heart. The main objective of this research is to investigate the combinatory effect of dhUCM and VEGF transplantation on an infarcted heart. MATERIALS AND
methods45 min of ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery, the MI-induced animals received 50 μl PBS, 5 μg VEGF, 5×10(6) hUCM cells alone, combined with 5 μg VEGF and 5×10(6) differentiated hUCM cells alone or combined with 5 μg VEGF through intramyocardial injection. MI group, without hUCM and VEGF served as the control group. Left ventricular function and angiogenesis were also evaluated.
resultsAfter eight weeks post MI, there were significant rise in left ventricular ejection farction in dhUCM+VEGF group compared to the other treated and non-treated groups (P<0.05). Fibrosis tissue was markedly lower in the dhUCM+VEGF and hUCM+VEGF groups compared to the other treated and non-treated groups (P<0.05). Despite these benefits, vascular density in dhUCM+VEGF group was not markedly different compared to VEGF and hUCM+VEGF groups. The transplanted hUCM and dhUCM cells survived and migrated to the infarcted area.
conclusionOur findings demonstrated that the dhUCM cells transplantation combined with VEGF were more efficient on an infarcted heart.
