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

Patient-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) play a key role in bone tissue engineering. Various donor-specific factors were identified causing significant variability in the biological properties of MSCs impairing quality of data and inter-study comparability. These limitations might be overcome by pooling cells of different donors. However, the effects of pooling on osteogenic differentiation, proliferation and vitality remain unknown and have, therefore, been evaluated in this study. MSCs of 10 donors were cultivated and differentiated into osteogenic lineage individually and in a pooled setting, containing MSCs of each donor in equal parts. Proliferation was evaluated in expansion (assessment of generation time) and differentiation (quantification of dsDNA content) conditions. Vitality was visualized by a fluorescence-microscopy-based live/dead assay. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by quantification of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and extracellular calcium deposition. Compared to the individual setting, generation time of pooled MSCs was shorter and proliferation was increased during differentiation with significantly lower variances. Calcium deposition was comparable, while variances were significantly higher in the individual setting. ALP activity showed high variance in both groups, but increased comparably during the incubation period. In conclusion, MSC pooling helps to compensate donor-dependent variability and does not negatively influence MSC vitality, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.
