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

The multiple therapeutic effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been verified in ischemic and reperfusion diseases. Exosomes are thought to play vital roles in MSCs-related cardioprotective effects. Recently, more and more evidences indicated that apoptosis and fibrosis were crucial pathological mechanisms in cardiac remodeling. Whether MSCs-derived exosomes could regulate cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling need to be explored. Murine BM-MSCs-derived exosomes were isolated by differential gradient centrifugation method. The transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice model was established to promote cardiac remodeling. Cardiac function and remodeling were assessed via echocardiography and histology analysis. Myocytes apoptosis was determined by TUNEL fluorescence staining. Meanwhile, premature senescence was detected by β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining. Related proteins and mRNA alternation were assessed via western blotting and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, respectively. MSCs-derived exosomes significantly protected myocardium against cardiac hypertrophy, attenuated myocardial apoptosis, and fibrosis and preserved heart function when pressure overload. In cultured myocytes, MSCs-derived exosomes also prevented cell hypertrophy stimulated with angiotensin II. One the other hand, exosomes promoted premature senescence of myofibroblasts vitro, indicating its anti-fibrosis effect in cardiac remodeling. Exosomes protected cardiomyocytes against pathological hypertrophy. It may provide a promising future treatment for heart failure.
