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 present study was designed to examine a synergistic role for VEGF and human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) therapy in a rat model of radiation myelopathy. UC-MSCs and VEGF were injected through the tail vein at 90, 97, 104 and 111 days post-irradiation. Behavioral tests were performed, and histological damage was examined. The microcirculation in the spinal cord was assessed using von Willebrand factor immunohistochemical analysis and laser-Doppler flowmetry. The microenvironment in the spinal cord was determined by measuring the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the serum and the anti-inflammatory cytokines brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor in the spinal cord. The UC-MSCs processed with VEGF, including VEGF165-induced UC-MSC (iUC), VEGF and UC-MSCs (VEGF-UC), increased the endothelial cell density and the microvessel density in the white matter and gray matter of the spinal cord, raised the relative magnitude of spinal cord blood flow compared to UC-MSCs treatment alone. Our data provided the first evidence that vascular endothelial growth factor enhanced the angiogenesis response of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells in a rat model of radiation myelopathy.
