Effect of human thymus adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells on myocardial infarction in rat model.
Article in Regenerative therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveStem cell (SC) therapy exhibits promising therapeutic efficiency against cardiovascular disease. The thymus adipose tissue (TAT) is familiar to cardiac surgeons with sternotomy; however, the application of TAT in SC therapy remains unknown. We assessed the effectiveness of TAT-derived mesenchymal SCs (TAT-MSCs) in the rat myocardial infarction (MI) model.
methodsThe human TATs were obtained from the patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In cell studies, we performed the cumulative population doubling level assessment, fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, and differentiation study. In animal studies, we segregated Sprague-Dawley rats (ischemia-reperfusion model) into three (sham, vehicle, and TAT-MSC) groups based on their corresponding treatment. Trans-thoracic echocardiogram (TTE) was obtained to assess the recovery of heart function in the 1st, 4th, 8th, and 12th week after surgical manipulations. After echocardiographic study, infarcted area of the heart was measured using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) stain.
resultsThe sham group exhibited significantly better systolic and diastolic function (SDF) than the other groups did. After one week of TAT-MSC or vehicle injection, the TAT-MSC group exhibited a significant improvement in the E/E' value (25.75 ± 1.09 vs. 24.20 ± 0.91,
conclusionAlthough TTE results exhibited insignificant variations in SDF, a trend with improvement in the SDF of the heart was observed in the TAT-MSC group compared to the vehicle group. The infarcted area of heart indicated significant reduction in the TAT-MSC group compared to the vehicle group as confirmed by histopathological study.
