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

In the past decade, despite key advances in therapeutic strategies following myocardial infarction, none can directly address the loss of cardiomyocytes following ischemic injury. Cardiac cell-based therapy is at the cornerstone of regenerative medicine that has shown potential for tissue repair. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) represent a strong candidate to heal the infarcted myocardium. While differentiation potential has been described as a possible avenue for MSC-based repair, their secreted mediators are responsible for the majority of the ascribed prohealing effects. MSC can either promote their own survival and proliferation through autocrine effect or secrete trophic factors that will act on adjacent cells through a paracrine effect. Prior studies have also documented beneficial effects even when MSCs were remotely delivered, much akin to an endocrine mechanism. This review aims to distinguish the paracrine activity of MSCs from an endocrine-like effect, where remotely transplanted cells can promote healing of the injured myocardium.
