Oxygen-laden mesenchymal stem cells enhance the effect of gastric cancer chemotherapy
Article in Oncology letters, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Hypoxia is an important factor that results in failure of chemotherapy for the majority of solid tumor types, particularly for gastric cancer. In the present study, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have the ability to migrate to cancer tissues were used as a vehicle to supply oxygen to gastric cancer. The hemoglobin genes were transfected into MSCs as MSC-hemo groups. Subsequently, MSC-hemo groups were induced by isopropyl-b-D-thiogalactopyranoside and hemin to express hemoglobin. The hemoglobin was detected by western blotting method. Following this, the MSC-hemo groups were placed in an atmosphere containing 100% oxygen and were used to investigate the effect of the function of the oxygen-laden MSC-hemo group on gastric cancer chemotherapy with an MTT assay. As a first approach to investigate the possibility of MSCs as a vehicle to supply oxygen to anoxic cancer types, including gastric, liver, breast cancer, the results indicated that the oxygen-laden MSC-hemo group significantly enhanced the effect of chemotherapeutic treatments on gastric cancer cells. Utilizing MSCs as a svehicle to supply oxygen to the solid tumor may be a novel method to improve the hypoxia conditions of tumor tissues and improve the effect of chemotherapy on tumor cells.
