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 Neutrophils play a major role in inflammation after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on neutrophils in I/R are complex and not fully understood. This study was designed to investigate the effects and mechanism of MSCs on alleviating myocardial I/R injury in rats. Methods and Results MSCs induced M2 macrophages polarization in vitro and enhanced macrophage efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils, measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and immunofluorescence staining. Rats myocardial I/R were induced by transient ligation of left anterior descending coronary. Adipose-derived MSCs or vehicle were infused at initiation (immediate after reperfusion) or peak of inflammation (24 hours after I/R). Hematoxylin and eosin, 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride/Evans Blue staining and immunofluorescence staining were applied within 72 hours after cell infusion. Cardiac function was assessed by echocardiography and left cardiac catheterization analysis at 28 days post-operation. MSCs infused immediately and 24 hours later both markedly ameliorated myocardial I/R injury, and immediate infusion had more significant outcome. These improvements were associated with neutrophils infiltration, measured by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis and immunofluorescence staining. When infused immediately, MSCs did not significantly change neutrophil number at 24 hours but CD11b expression was significantly higher. When infused at 24 hours, MSCs markedly decreased neutrophil number by enhanced M2 macrophage infiltration and macrophage efferocytosis of neutrophils within 72 hours. Conclusions Efferocytosis is pivotal to relieve neutrophil-mediated I/R injury and initial the immune response for healing. MSCs infusion improves cardiac function in rats after myocardial I/R via the possible mechanism of enhancing M2 macrophages-induced efferocytosis of apoptotic neutrophils.
