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

Diabetes is a public health problem affecting millions of people around the world. Despite the availability of many antidiabetic medications, the adequate level of control of the disease and management of diabetic patients remain a huge challenge. Because of the limitations of current therapies and the tremendous potential of non-conventional treatments such as stem cell therapy, herein, we review the applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in treating diabetes. Owing to their unique regenerative and immunomodulatory properties, MSCs have been widely utilized in numerous applications both in animal models and human clinical trials for the treatment of diabetes. This review will summarize the latest experimental and clinical studies that have provided evidence of the beneficial role of MSCs in diabetes treatment.
