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

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs), originating in Wharton's jelly, are multipotent stem cells that home to damaged tissues and can modulate the immune system. We examined whether administering extracts of MSCs (MSC-Ex) instead of MSCs could augment the beneficial effects of MSC therapy by overcoming the low homing efficiency of MSCs systemically administered in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis model was established in C57BL/6 mice, and MSC-Ex was administered intraperitoneally. MSC-Ex reduced colitis, disease activity index (DAI), and histological colitis scores, and increased the body weight. Treatment with MSC-Ex completely blocked the induction of inflammatory cytokines, which were strongly detected in mice with colitis. MSC-Ex shifted the macrophage functional phenotype from M1 to M2 by decreasing the levels of MCP1, CXCL9, and iNOS, but increasing the levels of IL-10, LIGHT, CCL1, and Arg-1. MSC-Ex recovered the destruction of the epithelial barrier in the differentiated Caco-2 cells in vitro. Treatment with MSC-Ex was more potent than that with MSC in reducing DAI, the histological score, and nitrite levels. These data strongly support that MSC-Ex treatment can be a potent approach to overcome severe refractory IBD.
