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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of human amniotic epithelial cell (HAEC) transplantation in the management of brain hemorrhage in an animal model.

methodsNew Zealand white rabbits were induced to develop cerebral hemorrhage through autologous blood injection. Animals with confirmed brain hemorrhage were randomized to receive transplantation of, respectively, vehicle (n=15) and primary HAECs (n=15) that were expressing embryonic stem cell- and neuron-specific markers and were transfected with a retroviral vector carrying the green fluorescent protein (GFP). Behavioral and histological changes, survival of transplanted HAECs, and expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and MAP-2 in transplanted perifocal tissue were assessed at various time points after transplantation.

resultsAt 2-3 weeks after transplantation, walking, body weight-supporting and movement coordinating capacities of limbs were improved mostly level II-III hemorrhage lesion cases in HAEC transplantation group but mostly in level I-II hemorrhage lesion cases in the vehicle control group. The Tarlov scores were significantly difference between the two groups (P<0.05). GFAP- and MAP-2-positive cells were observed in the neural tissue in animals transplanted with hAECs but not in animals in the control group (P<0.05).

conclusionThese preliminary observations suggest that hAEC transplantation possess both embryonic stem cell features and a neuron differentiation potential and thus may offer a promising treatment for hemorrhage-associated neurological damage.
