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

backgroundTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability. TBI results in a prolonged secondary central neuro-inflammatory response. Previously, we have demonstrated that multiple doses (2 and 24 h after TBI) of multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC) delivered intravenously preserve the blood-brain barrier (BBB), improve spatial learning, and decrease activated microglia/macrophages in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. In order to determine if there is an optimum treatment window to preserve the BBB, improve cognitive behavior, and attenuate the activated microglia/macrophages, we administered MAPC at various clinically relevant intervals.

methodsWe administered two injections intravenously of MAPC treatment at hours 2 and 24 (2/24), 6 and 24 (6/24), 12 and 36 (12/36), or 36 and 72 (36/72) post cortical contusion injury (CCI) at a concentration of 10 million/kg. For BBB experiments, animals that received MAPC at 2/24, 6/24, and 12/36 were euthanized 72 h post injury. The 36/72 treated group was harvested at 96 h post injury.

resultsAdministration of MAPC resulted in a significant decrease in BBB permeability when administered at 2/24 h after TBI only. For behavior experiments, animals were harvested post behavior paradigm. There was a significant improvement in spatial learning (120 days post injury) when compared to cortical contusion injury (CCI) in groups when MAPC was administered at or before 24 h. In addition, there was a significant decrease in activated microglia/macrophages in the dentate gyrus of hippocampus of the treated group (2/24) only when compared to CCI.

conclusionsIntravenous injections of MAPC at or before 24 h after CCI resulted in improvement of the BBB, improved cognitive behavior, and attenuated activated microglia/macrophages in the dentate gyrus.
