Effect of Systemic Adipose-derived Stem Cell Therapy on Functional Nerve Regeneration in a Rodent Model.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Regardless of etiology, peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) result in disruption/loss of neuromuscular junctions, target muscle denervation, and poor sensorimotor outcomes with associated pain and disability. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have shown promise in neuroregeneration. However, there is a paucity of objective assessments reflective of functional neuroregeneration in experimental PNI. Here, we use a multimodal, static, and dynamic approach to evaluate functional outcomes after ASC therapy in a rodent PNI model.
methodsLewis rats were divided into 3 groups: 10 mm sciatic nerve resection ("CUT" group; n = 10), transection and repair ("REP" group; n = 10), transection and repair plus single-dose ASCs ("ASC" group; n = 12). Allogeneic (Brown Norway rat) ASCs (1 × 10
resultsThe ASC group showed accelerated functional recovery on the swim test at 2 weeks postoperatively, with continued improvement over 4 weeks, culminating in superior overall outcomes at 6 weeks compared with the REP group. The CUT group showed no significant improvement from baseline. Nerve histomorphometry correlated well with the swim test results in the ASC group. Gastrocnemius muscle weights showed no difference between the REP and the ASC groups.
conclusionOur study confirms that early, single dose, systemic administration of ASC after PNI accelerates and enhances overall motor recovery on static and dynamic functional tests as evidenced by improvements in voluntary as well as involuntary motions.
