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

Over 10 years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as valuable and suitable cells for cell-based therapy applications, particularly in clinical trials. In any case, they are as yet not utilized routinely in clinics. At first, it was believed that MSCs play their roles, especially in regenerative medicine due to their differentiation and cell replacement properties. Interestingly, it is well-known that MSCs mainly exert their therapeutic effects through their vast bioactive factors. These findings turned scientists' consideration toward cell-free therapy concepts. From this point of view, MSCs can be considered as an arsenal of natural bioreactors in variety of therapeutic agents. MSCs inherently express various important therapeutic agents such as growth factors and cytokines that can be manufactured, handled and stored as a prepared-to-go biologic product. In this review, we provide a vision, highlight as well as discuss in order to introduce competitive natural robust bioreactor MSCs on the horizon.
