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

As the number of clinical trials exploring cell therapy rises, a thorough understanding of the limits of cell delivery is essential. We used an extensive toolset comprising various standard and multiplex assays for the assessment of cell delivery postejection. Primary human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) suspensions were drawn up into 100-µl Hamilton syringes with 30- and 34-gauge needles attached, before being ejected at rates ranging from 10 to 300 µl/minute. Effects of ejection rate, including changes in viability, apoptosis, senescence, and other key aspects of cellular health, were evaluated. Ejections at slower flow rates resulted in a lower percentage of the cell dose being delivered, and apoptosis measurements of samples ejected at 10 µl/minute were significantly higher than control samples. Immunophenotyping also revealed significant downregulation of CD105 expression in samples ejected at 10 µl/minute (p < .05). Differentiation of ejected hMSCs was investigated using qualitative markers of adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrogenesis, which revealed that slower ejection rates exerted a considerable effect upon the differentiation capacity of ejected cells, thereby possibly influencing the success of cell-based therapies. The findings of this study demonstrate that ejection rate has substantial impact on the percentage of cell dose delivered and cellular health postejection.
