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

Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is a common cause of infant death. The purpose of our research was to explore the immunoregulatory mechanism of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PD-MSCs) in HIBD treatment. Seven-day-old rat pups were randomly divided into HIBD, PD-MSC, fibroblast, and control groups. Forty-eight hours after HIBD induction, cells at a density of 5 × 104 cells/10 µl were injected into the cerebral tissue in the PD-MSC and fibroblast groups. The TNF-α, interleukin- 17 (IL-17), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and IL-10 levels were detected through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Regulatory T cell (Tregs) populations were detected through flow cytometry, and forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) was measured through western blot analysis. Behavioral tests and gross and pathological examinations showed that PD-MSC treatment exerted significantly stronger neuroprotective effects than the other treatments. The expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were substantially upregulated after HI injury. Compared with fibroblast treatment, PD-MSC treatment inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased the production of IL-10 in the ischemic hemispheres and peripheral blood serum (all P < 0.01). Flow cytometry results showed a notable increase in the number of Tregs within the spleen of the HIBD group. Moreover, the number of Tregs and the Foxp3 expression levels were higher in the PD-MSC treatment group than in the HIBD and fibroblast groups (all P < 0.01). Our research suggests that the mechanism of PD-MSC treatment for HIBD partially involves inflammatory response suppression.
