Multiple Intravenous Injections of Valproic Acid-Induced Mesenchymal Stem Cell from Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Improved Cardiac Function in an Acute Myocardial Infarction Rat Model.

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.
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
Mounting evidence indicates that the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) injection is safe and efficacious for treating cardiomyopathy; however, there is limited information relating to multiple intravenous injections of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell (hiPSC-MSC) and long-term evaluation of the cardiac function. In the current study, MSC-like cells were derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells through valproic acid (VPA) induction and continuous cell passages. The derived spindle-like cells expressed MSC-related markers, secreted angiogenic and immune-regulatory factors, and could be induced to experience chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. During the induction process, expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition- (EMT-) related gene N-cadherin and vimentin was upregulated to a very high level, and the expression of pluripotency-related genes Sox2 and Oct4 was downregulated or remained unchanged, indicating that VPA initiated EMT by upregulating the expression of EMT promoting genes and downregulating that of pluripotency-related genes. Two and four intravenous hiPSC-MSC injections (10
