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

It has been reported that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) alleviated liver fibrosis. We investigated whether BMSCs transfected with human matrix metalloproteinase 1 (BMSCs/MMP1) would improve their therapeutic effect in liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats. BMSCs were transfected with an adenovirus carrying enhanced green fluorescence protein (GFP) and human MMP1 gene. BMSCs or BMSCs/MMP1 were directly injected into fibrotic rats via the tail vein. GFP-labeled cells appeared in the fibrotic liver after BMSC transplantation. The expression of BMSCs/MMP1 elevated levels of MMP1 in vitro. Although BMSC administration reduced liver fibrosis, transplantation of BMSCs/MMP1 enhanced the reduction of liver fibrosis to a higher level. Treatment with BMSCs/MMP1 not only decreased collagen content but also suppressed activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in fibrotic liver, which led to subsequent improvement of both liver injury and fibrosis. Treatment with BMSCs/MMP1 resulted in an improved therapeutic effect compared with BMSCs alone, which is probably because of the sustainably expressed MMP1 level in the liver. BMSCs/MMP1 transplantation not only improved biochemical parameters but also attenuated progression of liver fibrosis, suggesting that BMSCs may be a potential cell source in preventing liver fibrosis and MMP1 gene may enhance the anti-fibrotic effect of BMSCs.
