Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells Are More Effective Than Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Cerebral Ischemic Injury.

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
We compared the therapeutic effects and mechanism of transplanted human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) in a rat stroke model and an in vitro model of ischemia. Rats were intravenously injected with hDPSCs or hBM-MSCs 24 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo), and both groups showed improved functional recovery and reduced infarct volume versus control rats, but the hDPSC group showed greater reduction in infarct volume than the hBM-MSC group. The positive area for the endothelial cell marker was greater in the lesion boundary areas in the hDPSC group than in the hBM-MSC group. Administration of hDPSCs to rats with stroke significantly decreased reactive gliosis, as evidenced by the attenuation of MCAo-induced GFAP+/nestin+ and GFAP+/Musashi-1+ cells, compared with hBM-MSCs. In vivo findings were confirmed by in vitro data illustrating that hDPSCs showed superior neuroprotective, migratory, and in vitro angiogenic effects in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-injured human astrocytes (hAs) versus hBM-MSCs. Comprehensive comparative bioinformatics analyses from hDPSC- and hBM-MSC-treated in vitro OGD-injured hAs were examined by RNA sequencing technology. In gene ontology and KEGG pathway analyses, significant pathways in the hDPSC-treated group were the MAPK and TGF-β signaling pathways. Thus, hDPSCs may be a better cell therapy source for ischemic stroke than hBM-MSCs.
