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

backgroundThe present study investigated factors associated with therapeutic benefits after autologous bone marrow cell (BMC) therapy in patients with "no-option" critical limb ischemia (CLI). METHODS AND

resultsSixty-two patients with advanced CLI (Rutherford category 5 or 6) not eligible for revascularization were randomized to treatment with 40 ml of autologous BMCs (SmartPreP2) by local intramuscular (n = 32) or intra-arterial (n = 30) application. The primary endpoint was limb salvage and wound healing at 12 months. Seven patients (11 %) died during the follow-up from reasons unrelated to stem cell therapy. The BMC product of patients with limb salvage and wound healing (33/55) was characterized by a higher CD34(+) cell count (p = 0.001), as well as a higher number of total bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) (p = 0.032), than that of nonresponders (22/55). Patients with limb salvage and wound healing were younger (p = 0.028), had lower C-reactive protein levels (p = 0.038), and had higher transcutaneous oxygen pressure (tcpO2) (p = 0.003) before cell application than nonresponders. All patients with major tissue loss at baseline (Rutherford 6 stage of CLI, n = 5) showed progression of limb ischemia and required major limb amputation. In the multiple binary logistic regression model, the number of applied CD34(+) cells (p = 0.046) and baseline tcpO2 (p = 0.031) were independent predictors of limb salvage and wound healing. The number of administrated BM-MNCs strongly correlated with decreased peripheral leukocyte count after 6 months in surviving patients with limb salvage (p = 0.0008).

conclusionPatients who benefited from autologous BMC therapy for "no-option" CLI were treated with high doses of CD34(+) cells. The absolute number of applied BM-MNCs correlated with the improvement of inflammation. We hypothesize that the therapeutic benefit of cell therapy for peripheral artery disease is the result of synergistic effects mediated by a mixture of active cells with regenerative potential. Patients at the most advanced stage of CLI do not appear to be suitable candidates for cell therapy.
