Role of Human Wharton's Jelly Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs) for Rescue of d-Galactosamine Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
BACKGROUND/
aimMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent precursor cells having self-renewal ability making them a candidate for use in regenerative medicine. Acute liver injury results in sudden loss of hepatic function leading to organ failure. Liver transplantation is often required to salvage patients with acute liver failure. Due to shortage of organs, identification of alternate method is the need of the hour. In view of this, an attempt has been made to check the regenerative ability of WJ-MSCs (wharton's jelly derived MSC) in mice models for acute liver injury.
methodsSwiss albino mice weighing 25 ± 5 g were used in this study. The control mice (Group I), was given saline. Group II mice received d-Galactosamine (d-GalN-800 mg/kg; i.p). Group III mice similar with Group II, received WJ-MSCs (5 × 10
resultsParameters, indicative of hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress were analyzed. A two-fold elevation in the marker enzymes of liver toxicity such as aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (SAP), and total serum bilirubin (TBIL) confirms hepatocellular injury, while a greater than four-fold increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, along with around 40% fall in superoxide-dis-mutase (SOD) activity was indicative of oxidative stress and loss of hepatocellular membrane integrity induced by d-GalN. The above biochemical and pathological changes were significantly restored in mice that received WJ-MSCs indicating hepatoprotective and probable regenerative property.
conclusionThe present study showed that WJ-MSC treatment is able to rescue/ameliorate the hepatotoxicity induced by d-GalN in mice.
