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

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been considered to be an important regulator for immune function. We aim to prove the function improvement of aging spleen and thymus induced by BMSCs and unfold the specific mechanisms. Aging animal model was established using D-galactose. The morphological changes of spleen and thymus tissues were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy. Key cytokines in the serum were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Protein and mRNA levels of P16, P21, and PCNA were detected using western blotting and RT-qPCR. Special markers of BMSCs were identified using flow cytometry, and successful induction of BMSCs to steatoblast and osteoblasts was observed. Compared to aging model, BMSCs significantly increased the spleen and thymus index, improved the histological changes of spleen and thymus tissues. A remarkable increase of ratio between CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, level of IL-2 was achieved by BMSCs. However, BMSCs markedly inhibited the content of IL-10, TNF-
