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

Stroke is one of the main causes of death and disability worldwide. Cell therapy represents a promising therapeutic approach to improve stroke outcome. Measurement of blood-based biomarkers might serve as a proof-of-concept to monitor the mechanisms undergirding these treatments, and such compounds could be used as surrogate biomarkers to monitor the safety and efficacy of cell therapies in the future. Additionally, the measurement of biomarkers that correlate with circulating stem cells in observational studies might be of interest to improve the understanding of how these cells are spontaneously mobilized and carry out their action after stroke. Thus, a systematic review has been herein performed on blood-based biomarkers assessed in stroke patients treated with cell therapy or in observational studies in which circulating stem cells have been measured after stroke.
