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

Food allergy prevalence has steadily increased worldwide over the past decades and immunotherapeutic treatment strategies are gaining attention. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) exhibit similar immune regulatory properties to bone marrow-derived MSCs. hUC-MCSs can be prepared with fewer ethical constraints and are potential candidates for allergic disorder therapies. The current study aimed to investigate potential antiallergic properties of hUC-MSCs in mice with ovalbumin (OVA)-induced food allergy. Administration of hUC-MSCs cells intraperitoneally combined with oral gavage of the culture medium significantly alleviated OVA-induced diarrhea symptoms. Additionally, this treatment significantly decreased IgE levels and the percentage of T helper 2 cells in the blood, which were increased in mice with OVA-induced food allergy. The mRNA levels of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4 and tumor necrosis factor-α, and inflammatory cell infiltration in mouse colons were significantly decreased in hUC-MSCs-treated animals compared with mice with OVA-induced food allergy. Goblet cells were detected in colons of allergy-induced mice and their numbers were reduced following treatment with hUC-MSCs. In addition, treatment with hUC-MSCs reestablished the gut flora. The results revealed that hUC-MSCs may have a potential application in food allergy therapy.
