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

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a potent mitogen for mature hepatocytes, and has been shown to prevent cirrhosis during liver regeneration. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) reduces the development of cirrhosis after liver injury. However, the production and secretion of transplanted MSCs in liver were not studied yet. Here we found that the MSCs expressed low levels of HGF protein, but surprisingly high levels of HGF mRNA. Further investigation using bioinformatics analyses and luciferase reporter assay showed that MSCs expressed high levels of microRNA-26a-5p (miR-26a-5p), which targeted 3'-UTR of HGF mRNA to inhibit its protein translation. In vivo, miR-26a-5p-depleted MSCs were transplanted into mice with carbon tetrachloride (CCl
