Effect of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Satellite Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis in Immobilization-Induced Muscle Atrophy in Rats.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND Muscle atrophy due to disuse occurs along with adverse physiological and functional changes, but bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) may be able to act as muscle satellite cells to restore myofibers. Thus, we investigated whether MSCs could enhance the proliferation of satellite cells and suppress myonuclear apoptosis during immobilization. MATERIAL AND METHODS We isolated, purified, amplified, and identified MSCs. Rats (n=48) were randomized into 3 groups: WB group (n=16), IM-PBS group (n=16), and IM-MSC (n=16). Rat hind limbs were immobilized for 14 d, treated with MSCs or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and then studied using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis to characterize the proteins involved. Apoptosis was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated deoxy-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. RESULTS We compared muscle mass, cross-sectional areas, and peak tetanic forces and noted insignificant differences between PBS- and MSC-treated animals, but satellite cell proliferation was significantly greater after MSC treatment (p<0.05). Apoptotic myonuclei were reduced (p<0.05) after MSC treatment as well. Pro-apoptotic Bax was down-regulated and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and p-Akt protein were upregulated (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS MSCs injected during hind limb immobilization can maintain satellite cell activity by suppressing myonuclear apoptosis.
