Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in polytrauma: Evaluation of bone and liver healing response in an experimental rat model.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTrauma is the most common cause of death of young people in the world. As known, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) accelerate tissue regeneration mechanisms. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of MSCs transplantation on the healing of liver and bone tissue by considering trauma secondary inflammatory responses.
methods56 adult Wistar-albino rats were divided into two groups: the polytrauma (liver and bone) (n = 28), and the liver trauma group (n = 28). At 36 h and 5th day after surgery, both rats with polytrauma and with isolated liver injury received either intravenous (IV) or intraperitoneal (IP) injections of MSCs (one million cells per kg body weight). Untreated groups received IV and IP saline injections. At day 21 after surgery, liver, tibia and fibula of the subjects were excised and evaluated for histopathologic and histomorphometric examination. Additionally, whole blood count (white blood cells, hemoglobin and platelets), C-reactive protein (CRP), glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin, blood gas, and trauma markers interleukin-1B (IL-1B), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) levels were investigated.
resultsIn general, MSC transplantations were well tolerated by the subjects. It was found that ALT, CRP, albumin were significantly lower in rats which received MSCs (p < 0.001). Inflammation of the liver and bone tissue in the MSC-injected rats were significantly lower than that of the untreated groups.
conclusionsHerewith we have shown that MSC infusion in posttraumatic rats leads to less aggressive and more effective consequences on liver and bone tissue healing. Human MSC treatment for trauma is still in early stages of development; thus standard protocols, and patient inclusion criteria should be established beforehand clinical trials.
