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

Autologous endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) therapy is commonly used to stimulate angiogenesis in ischemic repair and wound healing. However, low total numbers and functional deficits of EPCs make autologous EPC therapy ineffective in diabetes. Currently, no known ex vivo culture techniques can expand and/or ameliorate the functional deficits of EPCs for clinical usage. Recently, we showed that a quality-quantity culture (QQc) system restores the vasculogenic and wound-healing efficacy of murine diabetic EPCs. To validate these results and elucidate the mechanism in a translational study, we evaluated the efficacy of this QQc system to restore the vasculogenic potential of diabetic human peripheral blood (PB) CD34+ cells. CD34+ cells purified from PB of diabetic and healthy patients were subjected to QQc. Gene expression, vascular regeneration, and expression of cytokines and paracrine mediators were analyzed. Pre- or post-QQc diabetic human PB-CD34+ cells were transplanted into wounded BALB/c nude mice and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice to assess functional efficacy. Post-QQc diabetic human PB-CD34+ cell therapy significantly accelerated wound closure, re-epithelialization, and angiogenesis. The higher therapeutic efficacy of post-QQc diabetic human PB-CD34+ cells was attributed to increased differentiation ability of diabetic CD34+ cells, direct vasculogenesis, and enhanced expression of angiogenic factors and wound-healing genes. Thus, QQc can significantly enhance the therapeutic efficacy of human PB-CD34+ cells in diabetic wounds, overcoming the inherent limitation of autologous cell therapy in diabetic patients, and could be useful for treatment of not only wounds but also other ischemic diseases.
