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

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are attractive cellular sources for cell therapy of many diseases, specifically neurodegenerative ones. The potential capability of BMSCs could be further augmented by enhancing their neuroprotective property, differentiation potential, and survival rate subsequent to transplantation. Therefore, a concurrent upregulation of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and its high affinity receptor, tyrosin kinase C (TrkC), was utilized in our study. BMSCs were cotransfected with pDsRed1-N1-NT-3 and pCMX-TrkC plasmids before induction of neural differentiation. pEGFP-N1-transfected BMSCs were also employed as a control. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was employed for gene expression analysis. Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay, while apoptosis rate was assessed by flow cytometry after PI and Annexin V staining. NT-3 and TrkC mRNA levels were greatly elevated following cotransfection of cells with pDsRed1-N1-NT-3 and pCMX-TrkC vectors. The expression of neural markers (i.e., NFM, and NeuroD1) was augmented in cotransfected BMSCs, compared to the control ones, after neural induction. At each time point, the viability and apoptosis rates of the cells over-expressing NT-3 and TrkC showed increased and reduced patterns, respectively. Our data demonstrated that NT-3/TrkC-co-transfected BMSCs, compared to those of intact cells, could be more beneficial graft candidates for the upcoming treatment strategies of neurogenic disorders due to their increased viability and expression of neural markers. This may be due to their increased level of neural differentiation potential and/or their enhanced rate of survival and/or their useful capacity to secrete NT-3.
