CD146+ mesenchymal stem cells display greater therapeutic potential than CD146- cells for treating collagen-induced arthritis in mice.

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.
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
backgroundThe characteristics and therapeutic potential of subtypes of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are largely unknown. In this study, CD146(+) and CD146(-) MSCs were separated from human umbilical cords, and their effects on regulatory T cells (Tregs), Th17 cells, chondrogenesis, and osteogenesis were investigated.
methodsFlow cytometry was used to quantify IL-6 and TGF-β1 expressed on CD146(+) and CD146(-) MSCs. The therapeutic potential of both subpopulations was determined by measuring the clinical score and joint histology after intra-articular (IA) transfer of the cells into mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
resultsCompared with CD146(-) MSCs, CD146(+) MSCs expressed less IL-6 and had a significantly greater effect on chondrogenesis. After T lymphocyte activation, Th17 cells were activated when exposed to CD146(-) cells but not when exposed to CD146(+) cells both in vitro and in vivo. IA injection of CD146(+) MSCs attenuated the progression of CIA. Immunohistochemistry showed that only HLA-A(+) CD146(+) cells were detected in the cartilage of CIA mice. These cells may help preserve proteoglycan expression.
conclusionsThis study suggests that CD146(+) cells have greater potency than CD146(-) cells for cartilage protection and can suppress Th17 cell activation. These data suggest a potential therapeutic application for CD146(+) cells in treating inflammatory arthritis.
