In vitro transdifferentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells into salivary gland acinar-like cells.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Current clinical approaches to treat irradiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction are ineffective. We previously reported that adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based therapy ameliorates damaged salivary gland function in mice and that the effects were enhanced when the therapy was co-administrated with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). We examined the feasibility of ADSC transdifferentiation into salivary gland acinar-like cells (SGALCs) and analyzed the potential of PRF to promote the transdifferentiation process in vitro. Salivary gland cells (SGCs) and ADSCs were indirectly co-cultured using Transwell inserts, and increasing concentrations of PRF-conditioned medium were applied to the co-culture system. The expression of α-amylase and AQP-5 were used to evaluate ADSC transdifferentiation. Notably, on day 7, 14, and 21, expression of both α-amylase and AQP-5 were detected in the co-cultured ADSCs. Additionally, PRF increased α-amylase and AQP-5 levels in ADSCs that were co-cultured for 7 days. These data demonstrate that ADSCs have the potential to transdifferentiate into SGALCs and that PRF can promote the transdifferentiation process. Therefore, these data reveal a possible mechanism to treat irradiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction and have translational medicine implications.
