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

Stem cell therapy is considered to be a promising future treatment for intractable neurological diseases, although all the clinical trials using stem cells have not yet shown any good results. Early passage mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used in most clinical trials because of the issues on safety and efficacy. However, it is not easy to get plenty of cells enough for the treatment and it costs too much. Lots of late passage MSCs can be obtained at lower cost but their efficacy would be a big hurdle for clinical trials. If late passage MSCs with better efficacy could be used in clinical trials, it could be a new and revolutionary solution to reduce cost and enhance easier clinical trials. In the present study, it was investigated whether late passage MSCs could be induced into glia-like cells (ghMSCs); ghMSCs had better efficacy and they protected neurons and the brain from ischemia, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) played a critical role in beneficial effect of ghMSCs. ghMSCs were induced from MSCs and treated in in vitro and in vivo models of ischemia. They effectively protected neurons from ischemia and restored the brain damaged by cerebral infarction. These beneficial effects were significantly blocked by IGFBP-4 antibody. The current study demontsrated that late passage hMSCs can be efficiently induced into ghMSCs with better neuroprotective effect on ischemic stroke. Moreover, the results indicate that IGFBP-4 released from ghMSCs may serve as one of the key neuronal survival factors secreted from ghMSCs.
