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
backgroundMesenchymal stem cells microvesicles (MSC-MVs) stabilize endothelial barrier function in acute lung injury (ALI); however, the detailed mechanism remains to be further defined. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is derived from MSC-MVs, might have a key role in the restoration of endothelial barrier function by MSC-MVs.
methodsMSCs with lentiviral vector-mediated HGF gene knockdown (siHGF-MSC) were generated. A co-culture model of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and MSC-MVs collected from MSCs or siHGF-MSCs after 24 h of hypoxic culture was utilized. Then, endothelial paracellular and transcellular permeabilities were detected. VE-cadherin, and occludin protein expression in the endothelial cells was measured using Western blot. Endothelial cell proliferation was analysed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay. Endothelial cell apoptosis was analysed using TUNEL assay. Finally, IL-6 and IL-10 production was determined via an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
resultsTreatment with MSC-MVs significantly decreased LPS-induced endothelial paracellular and transcellular permeabilities, and the effect was significantly inhibited after HGF gene knockdown in MSC-MVs. Furthermore, treatment with MSC-MVs increased the expression of the endothelial intercellular junction proteins VE-cadherin and occludin. Treatment with MSC-MVs also decreased endothelial apoptosis and induced endothelial cell proliferation. Finally, the treatment reduced IL-6 production and increased IL-10 production in the conditioned media of endothelial cells. However, the effects of the treatment with MSC-MVs were inhibited after HGF gene knockdown.
conclusionsMSC-MVs protect the barrier functions of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, which can be partly attributed to the presence of HGF in the MSC-MVs.
