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

: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been extensively investigated as a promising approach to treat many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The stress condition would affect the therapeutic efficacy and induce autophagy of MSCs. However, whether autophagy would affect the immunosuppressive capacity of MSCs is largely unknown. The present study aimed to assess whether autophagy plays an important role in regulating the immunomodulation of MSCs and the undermechanisms. We successfully inhibited and induced autophagy of MSCs using 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and rapamycin, respectively. Our results demonstrated that rapamycin strengthened the capacity of MSCs to inhibit CD4 SIGNIFICANCE: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapy is a promising tool to treat many diseases. Autophagy occurred in MSCs during their application, especially in those exposed to stress conditions. However, whether autophagy will affect the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs is largely unknown. This study makes a significant contribution to demonstrate that autophagy could improve the immunosuppression of CD4
