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

introductionAdult stem cell-derived hepatocytes transplantation holds considerable promise for future clinical individualized therapy of liver failure or dysfunction. However, the low engraftment of the available hepatocytes in the liver disease microenvironment has been a major obstacle.

methodsAcellular human amniotic membrane was developed as a three-dimensional scaffold and combined with hepatocyte-like cells derived from human adipose stem cells to engineer a hepatic tissue graft that would allow hepatocyte engraftment in the liver effectively.

resultsThe hepatic tissue grafts maintained hepatocyte-specific gene expression and functionality in vitro. When transplanted into the surgical incision in livers for engraftment, the engineered hepatic grafts significantly decreased the degree of liver injury caused by a carbon tetrachloride treatment and generated cords that were similar to the ductal plates in the liver between the acellular human amniotic membrane and the liver of receipts at day 3 post-transplantation. The hepatic tissue grafts maintained the expression of human hepatocyte-specific markers albumin, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α, and cytochrome P450 2B6 in the liver of receipts, and acquired human-specific drug metabolism ability at eight weeks post-transplantation.

conclusionsThe acellular human amniotic membrane has the ability to maintain the functional phenotype of the hepatocyte-like cells derived from human adipose stem cells. Functional acellular human amniotic membrane-hepatocytes grafts integrated with the liver decreases the acute liver injury of mice. These engineered tissue constructs may support stem cell-based individualized therapy for liver disease and for bioartificial liver establishment.
