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

This was a phase I clinical trial to investigate the safety of autologous peripheral-blood-derived CD34+ cell therapy for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD-treatment) (i.e., at Stages III and IV). Between November 2014 and October 2015, a total of 10 study patients were prospectively enrolled into this phase I trial. Patients who failed to enroll into the trial in the initial state of eligibility assessment were served as CKD-control group (n = 9). The health-control group was composed of 10 volunteers for the purposes of comparing (1) circulation level of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), (2) angiogenesis ability, and (3) anti-apoptotic miRNAs between healthy subjects and CKD patients. CD34+ cells (5.0 x 107) were transfused into right-renal artery after subcutaneous G-CSF injection (5μg/kg/twice a day for 4 days). Circulating EPC number, angiogenesis capacity (i.e., Matrigel assay) and anti-apoptotic miRNAs (miR-374a-5p/miR-19a-3p/ miR-106b-5p/miR-26b-5p/ miR-20a-5p) were significantly lower in CKD patients than in healthy subjects (all p < 0.001). Flow-cytometric analysis of renal-vein blood samplings (i.e., at 0/5/10/30 mins after cell transfusion) showed the EPC level was significantly progressively increased (p < 0.001). Procedural safety was 100% with all patients uneventfully discharged and one-year survival rate was 100%. The paired-t test showed serum creatinine maintained the same level between the baseline and at the end of one-year follow-up (all p > 0.4), whereas the net increase between initial and final creatinine level was higher in CKD-control than in CKD-treatment. In conclusion, CD34+ cell therapy was safe and maintained the renal function in stationary state at the end of study period.
