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 emerged as a potential cell-based therapy for pulmonary emphysema in animal models. Our previous study demonstrated that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived MSCs (iPSC-MSCs) were superior over bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) in attenuating cigarette smoke (CS)-induced airspace enlargement possibly through mitochondrial transfer. This study further investigated the effects of iPSC-MSCs on inflammation, apoptosis, and proliferation in a CS-exposed rat model and examined the effects of the secreted paracrine factor from MSCs as another possible mechanism in an in vitro model of bronchial epithelial cells. Rats were exposed to 4% CS for 1 hr daily for 56 days. At days 29 and 43, human iPSC-MSCs or BM-MSCs were administered intravenously. We observed significant attenuation of CS-induced elevation of circulating 8-isoprostane and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant-1 after iPSC-MSC treatment. In line, a superior capacity of iPSC-MSCs was also observed in ameliorating CS-induced infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils and apoptosis/proliferation imbalance in lung sections over BM-MSCs. In support, the conditioned medium (CdM) from iPSC-MSCs ameliorated CS medium-induced apoptosis/proliferation imbalance of bronchial epithelial cells in vitro. Conditioned medium from iPSC-MSCs contained higher level of stem cell factor (SCF) than that from BM-MSCs. Deprivation of SCF from iPSC-MSC-derived CdM led to a reduction in anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative capacity. Taken together, our data suggest that iPSC-MSCs may possess anti-apoptotic/pro-proliferative capacity in the in vivo and in vitro models of CS-induced airway cell injury partly through paracrine secretion of SCF.
