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

Recent studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome could attenuate ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by suppressing inflammatory response in the liver. Glycyrrhetinic acid was also shown to be capable of repressing the TLR4 signalling pathway. However, it remains to be explored as whether the combined administration of mesenchyma stem cell (MSC)-derived exosome and glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) could increase their therapeutic effects on I/R injury. Western blot was performed to evaluate the expression of proteins associated with inflammatory response in THP-1 cells and I/R rat models treated under different conditions. Flow cytometry was carried out to analyse the proportions of different subtypes of peripheral blood cells in I/R rats. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured to assess the liver injury in I/R rats. Combined treatment with MSC-derived exosome and GA effectively maintained the expression of key proteins involved in inflammatory response in LPS stimulated THP-1 cells and THP-1 cells treated under hypoxia conditions. In the established of I/R rat models, GA administration reinforced the therapeutic efficiency of MSC-derived exosomes by maintaining the proportion of different subgroups of peripheral blood cells, decreasing the concentration of ALT and AST, and restoring the expression of dysregulated proteins associated with inflammation. Our results demonstrated that treatment with exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) attenuated liver I/R injury, while the pre-treatment with GA may further promote the therapeutic effect of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosome against acute liver ischaemia-reperfusion injury.
