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

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death worldwide and requires development of efficient therapeutic strategies . Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) -based therapy of MI has been promising but inefficient due to undesirable microenvironment of the infarct tissue. Hence, the current study was conducted to fortify MSCs against the unfavorable microenvironment of infarct tissue via overexpression of Lipocalin 2 (Lcn2) as a cytoprotective factor. The engineered cells (Lcn2-MSCs) were transplanted to infarcted heart of a rat model of MI. According to our findings, Lcn2 overexpression resulted in increased MSCs survival in the MI tissue (p < 0.05) compared to non-engineered cells. Furthermore, the infusion of Lcn2-MSCs mitigated Left ventricle (LV) remodeling, decreased fibrosis (p < 0.0001), and reduced apoptotic death of the LVs' cells (p < 0.0001) compared to the control. Our findings suggest a potential novel therapeutic strategy for MI, however, further investigations such as safety and efficacy assessments in large animals followed by clinical trials are required.
