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

Cerebellar ataxias (CAs) are neurological diseases characterized by loss of muscle coordination that is a result of damage and inflammation to the cerebellum. Despite considerable efforts in basic and clinical research, most CAs are currently incurable. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) against CAs associated with neuroinflammation. We observed that hMSC treatment significantly inhibited the symptoms of ataxia in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory CA (ICA) mice, which were recently reported as a potential animal model of ICA, through the anti-inflammatory effect of hMSC-derived TNFα-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6), the protection of Purkinje cells by inhibition of apoptosis, and the modulatory effect for microglial M2 polarization. Thus, our results suggest that hMSC treatment may be an effective therapeutic approach for preventing or improving ataxia symptoms.
