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

To the best of our knowledge, our previous study demonstrated the expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM‑2) in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the first time. However, the inflammation regulatory role of TREM‑2 in MSCs remain elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate the immune regulation and the underlying mechanism of TREM‑2 in rat bone marrow MSCs. MSCs were divided into three groups: NullMSCs, TREM‑2MSCs, and NormMSCs. TREM‑2 was expressed in MSCs at the mRNA and protein level. Following stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the gene transcription levels of TREM‑2 and inflammatory cytokines were increased. The expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α) and interleukin‑1β (IL‑1β), in the TREM‑2MSCs lentiviral vector group were significantly downregulated, and the expression of IL‑10 was significantly upregulated compared with the controls. Western blot analysis revealed that TREM‑2 downregulated the LPS‑induced inflammatory response in MSCs, which was probably associated with regulating AKT serine/threonine kinase and p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase downstream signaling proteins. The results of the current study demonstrated that TREM‑2 negatively regulates the LPS‑mediated inflammatory response in MSCs suggesting that TREM‑2 is a potential target of immune regulation in rat MSCs.
