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

backgroundMesenchymal stem cells derived from human umbilical cord tissue, termed UCX®, have the potential to promote a full range of events leading to tissue regeneration and homeostasis. The main goal of this work was to investigate UCX® action in experimentally induced hindlimb ischemia (HLI).

methodsUCX®, obtained by using a proprietary technology developed by ECBio (Amadora, Portugal), were delivered via intramuscular injection to C57BL/6 females after unilateral HLI induction. Perfusion recovery, capillary and collateral density increase were evaluated by laser doppler, CD31 immunohistochemistry and diaphonisation, respectively. The activation state of endothelial cells (ECs) was analysed after EC isolation by laser capture microdissection microscopy followed by RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and quantitative RT-PCR analysis. The UCX®-conditioned medium was analysed on Gallios flow cytometer. The capacity of UCX® in promoting tubulogenesis and EC migration was assessed by matrigel tubule formation and wound-healing assay, respectively.

resultsWe demonstrated that UCX® enhance angiogenesis in vitro via a paracrine effect. Importantly, after HLI induction, UCX® improve blood perfusion by stimulating angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. This is achieved through a new mechanism in which durable and simultaneous upregulation of transforming growth factor β2, angiopoietin 2, fibroblast growth factor 2, and hepatocyte growth factor, in endothelial cells is induced by UCX®.

conclusionsIn conclusion, our data demonstrate that UCX® improve the angiogenic potency of endothelial cells in the murine ischemic limb suggesting the potential of UCX® as a new therapeutic tool for critical limb ischemia.
