Review in Current diabetes reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication that emerges early in patients who have diabetes. Curative treatment for overt or symptomatic DPN has not been established, requiring much effort to explore new modalities. Thus, the use of various kinds of stem cells as a potential therapeutic option for DPN is of particular interest. The beneficial effects were proposed to be attributed to either cytokine released from transplanted stem cells or the differentiation of stem cells to substitute the damaged peripheral nerve. Furthermore, based on the concept that humoral factors secreted from stem cells play a pivotal role in tissue regeneration, the utilization of conditioned medium derived from the stem cell culture serves as a novel tool for regenerative therapy. However, many questions have not been yet answered to determine whether stem cell therapy is essential in clinical application of DPN. In this report, we review the current status of preclinical studies on stem cell therapy for DPN and discuss future prospects.
