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

Interleukin (IL)-10 is a contributing factor to neuroprotection of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation after ischemic stroke. Our aim was to increase therapeutic effects by combining MSCs and ex vivo IL-10 gene transfer with an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector using a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. Sprague-Dawley rats underwent 90 min MCAO followed by intravenous administration of MSCs alone or IL-10 gene-transferred MSCs (MSC/IL-10) at 0 or 3 hr after ischemia reperfusion. Infarct lesions, neurological deficits, and immunological analyses were performed within 7 days after MCAO. 0-hr transplantation of MSCs alone and MSC/IL-10 significantly reduced infarct volumes and improved motor function. Conversely, 3-hr transplantation of MSC/IL-10, but not MSCs alone, significantly reduced infarct volumes (p < 0.01) and improved motor function (p < 0.01) compared with vehicle groups at 72 hr and 7 days after MCAO. Immunological analysis showed that MSC/IL-10 transplantation significantly inhibits microglial activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression compared with MSCs alone. Moreover, overexpressing IL-10 suppressed neuronal degeneration and improved survival of engrafted MSCs in the ischemic hemisphere. These results suggest that overexpressing IL-10 enhances the neuroprotective effects of MSC transplantation by anti-inflammatory modulation and thereby supports neuronal survival during the acute ischemic phase.
