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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the effect of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) on collagenous fibre formation and the osteogenic differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) in vitro, as well as the effect of FGF-2-induced hAMSCs combined with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on tendon-to-bone healing in vivo.

methodsIn vitro, hAMSCs were induced by various concentrations of FGF-2 (0, 10, 20, and 40 ​ng/ml) for 14 days, and the outcomes of ligamentous differentiation and osteogenic differentiation were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence, and picrosirius red staining. In addition, a lentivirus carrying the FGF-2 gene was used to transfect hAMSCs, and transfection efficiency was detected by quantitative real time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. In vivo, the effect of hAMSCs transfected with the FGF-2 gene combined with autologous PRP on tendon-to-bone healing was detected via histological examination, as well as biomechanical analysis and radiographic analysis.

resultsIn vitro, different concentrations of FGF-2 (10, 20, and 40 ​ng/ml) all promoted the ligamentous differentiation and osteogenic differentiation of hAMSCs, and the low concentration of FGF-2 (10 ​ng/ml) had a good effect on differentiation. In addition, the lentivirus carrying the FGF-2 gene was successfully transfected into hAMSCs with an optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) (50), and autologous PRP was prepared successfully. In vivo, the hAMSCs transfected with the FGF-2 gene combined with autologous PRP had a better effect on tendon-to-bone healing than the other groups (

conclusionhAMSCs transfected with the FGF-2 gene combined with autologous PRP could augment tendon-to-bone healing in a rabbit extra-articular model. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: hAMSCs transfected with the FGF-2 gene combined with autologous PRP may be a good clinical treatment for tendon-to-bone healing, especially for acute sports-related tendon-ligament injuries.
