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

purposeMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated great promises for the treatment of ischemic stroke. Previously, we identified a new source of MSCs located in the inferior turbinate. We investigated therapeutic potentials of human turbinate- derived mesenchymal stem cells (hTMSCs) in ischemic stroke.

methodsIschemic stroke was induced by the intraluminal occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCAo) for 50 minutes in rats. At one day after MCAo, hTMSCs, adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AdMSCs), or phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were transplanted into the striatum. Functional recovery was assessed by repeating behavioral tests including modified neurologic severity score and corner test. At 14 days after MCAo, brains were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for measuring infarct volume. The survival of grafted MSCs was evaluated by immunohistochemistry to human nuclei (hNU). Immunohistochemistry with anti-doublecortin (anti-DCX) was performed to assess hippocampal neurogenesis.

resultsTransplantation of hTMSCs following MCAo showed improvements of neurologic function, which was comparable with that of AdMSCs. H&E staining showed no difference in infarct volume among 3 groups. Regarding the survival of grafted MSCs, the number of hNU-expressing cells was not different between hTMSCs- and AdMSCs-treated groups. Finally, hTMSCs increased the number of subgranular DCX-positive cells compared to PBS-treated controls, without affecting hilar ectopic migration of newborn neurons.

conclusionhTMSCs could improve functional recovery following ischemic stroke, of which efficacy was similar to AdMSCs. Although hTMSCs showed comparable infarct size and survival of grafted MSCs, transplantation of hTMSCs could upregulate subgranular neurogenesis with no impact on ectopically migrating newborn neurons.
