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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of MSCs and MSC-expressing ANGPT1 (MSC-pANGPT1) treatment via aerosolisation in alleviating the asthma-related airway inflammation in the rabbit model.

methodsRabbits were sensitised and challenged with both intraperitoneal injection and inhalation of ovalbumin (Ova). MSCs and MSC-pANGPT1 cells were aerosolised into rabbit lungs using the MicroSprayer® Aerosolizer Model IA-1B 48 h after injury. The post mortem was performed 3 days following cell delivery. Histopathological assessments of the lung tissues and inflammatory response were quantitatively scored following treatments. RESULT(S): Administration of aerosolised MSCs and MSC-pANGPT1 were significantly reduced inflammation of the airways (p < 0.001), as reflected by improved of structural changes such as thickness of the basement membrane, epithelium, mucosa and sub-mucosa regions. The airway inflammation score of both treatment groups revealed a significant reduction of inflammation and granulocyte infiltration at the peribronchiale and perivascular regions (p < 0.05). Administration of aerosolised MSCs alone was resulted in significant reduction in the levels of pro-inflammatory genes (IL-4 and TGF-β) while treatment with aerosolised MSC-pANGPT1 led to further reduction of various pro-inflammatory genes to the base-line values (IL4, TNF, MMP9 and TGF-β). Treatment with both aerosolised MSCs and MSC-pANGPT1 cells was also alleviated the number of airway inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and goblet cell hyperplasia. CONCLUSION(S): Our findings suggest that treatment with MSCs alone attenuated airway inflammation and structural changes of the airway. Treatment with MSC-pANGPT1 provided an additional effect in reducing the expression levels of various pro-inflammatory genes. Both of these treatment enhancing airway repair and therefore may provide a basis for the development of an innovative approach for the treatment and prevention of airway inflammatory diseases.
