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

Mesenchymal stem cell‑conditioned medium (MSC‑CM) contains various cytokines (osteopontin and macrophage colony stimulating factor 1) secreted by MSCs and may modulate the immune response in tubulointerstitial fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether MSC‑CM treatment may affect B cell‑dependent immune responses, which have previously been reported to facilitate the renal fibrotic processes following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). In the present study, histological analysis, flow cytometry, western blotting and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed. MSC‑CM treatment was observed to impede renal infiltration of B lymphocytes and the expression of CC chemokine ligand‑2. Additionally, UUO suppressed the subsequent recruitment of monocytes/macrophages to the kidney, limited local inflammation and attenuated renal fibrosis. The findings of the present study identified a potential mechanism of MSC‑CM in ameliorating the UUO‑kidney.
