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

Radiation vasculitis is one of the most common detrimental effects of radiotherapy for malignant tumors. This is developed at the vasculature of adjacent organs. Animal experiments have showed that transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) restores vascular function after irradiation. But the population of MSCs being engrafted into irradiated vessels is too low in the conventional models to make assessment of therapeutic effect difficult. This is presumably because circulating MSCs are dispersed in adjacent tissues being irradiated simultaneously. Based on the assumption, a rat model, namely, RT (radiation) plus TX (transplantation), was established to promote MSC homing by sequestering irradiated vessels. In this model, a 1.5 cm long segment of rat abdominal aorta was irradiated by 160kV X-ray at a single dose of 35Gy before being procured and grafted to the healthy counterpart. F344 inbred rats served as both donors and recipients to exclude the possibility of immune rejection. A lead shield was used to confine X-ray delivery to a 3 cm×3 cm square-shaped field covering central abdominal region. The abdominal viscera especially small bowel and colon were protected from irradiation by being pushed off the central abdominal cavity. Typical radiation-induced vasculopathy was present on the 90
