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

Heat stroke (HS) is considered to be a severe systemic inflammatory reaction disease that is caused by high fever. The mortality of HS is high worldwide due to the lack of effective treatments. Presently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to serve roles in inflammation and immune regulation. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of MSCs against the HS-induced inflammatory response and organ dysfunction. A rat model of HS was induced by a high-temperature environment and treated with MSCs via tail veins. The levels of molecular markers of organ function, inflammatory factors and chemokines were examined at days 1, 7, 14 and 28. Histological staining was performed on the intestines of rats and control groups, and the Chiu's scores of the two groups were compared. The results revealed that MSCs injection significantly reduced the mortality and inhibited the circulatory inflammatory response. Additionally, main organ function, such as in the liver and kidney, were significantly improved following MSCs infusion in HS rats. Furthermore, MSCs treatment significantly improved edema, necrosis and villus exfoliation of intestinal mucosa, and reduced the inflammatory response of intestinal tissue. These results indicated that MSC infusion had therapeutic effects on HS of rats by regulating the circulatory and intestinal inflammatory response. Moreover, MSCs may be able to protect organ function and promote tissue repair in HS. The results of the current study indicated that MSCs may be used as a potential method to treat HS and the resulting organ dysfunction.
