Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Overexpressing Nerve Growth Factor Ameliorate Diabetic Cystopathy in Rats.
Article in Neurochemical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
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
Diabetic cystopathy is a common complication of voiding disorders in diabetes mellitus. Neuropathy and bladder remodeling underlie the lack of efficacy of pharmacological and surgical treatments. Previous studies have shown that decreased levels of nerve growth factor (NGF) are closely associated with disease progression. Besides, application of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) is also considered a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of diabetic neuropathy. In our study, we determine the therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms of hUC-MSCs which transfected with NGF geen in ameliorating diabetic cystopathy for the first time. We transducted hUC-MSCs with NGF-expressing lentivirus so that the hUC-MSCs can express NGF efficiently, then the NGF-expressing hUC-MSCs were intrathecally administrated in L6-S1 spinal cord of diabetic rats 3 days after induced by streptozotocin. Nine weeks later, the level of neurotrophins and voiding function of bladder were detected. Results show that improvements in voiding function were related to the neurotrophins and cytokines released by the intrathecally transplanted hUC-MSCs. In addition, the hUC-MSCs also differentiated into neurons and astrocytes within the spinal cord in rats. These two mechanisms play a combined role in neural regeneration and the amelioration of the symptoms of diabetic cystopathy.
