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

introductionMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising therapeutic tools in regenerative medicine. In particularly adipose tissue derived MSC (AMSC) has powerful potential for the therapeutics of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because these cells can control immune balance. RA systemically occurs autoimmune disease. Interestingly, IL-1 receptor antagonist deficient (IL-1ra

methodsWe isolated AMSCs derived mice adipose tissue and purified EVs from the culture supernatant of AMSCs. To examine whether EVs can improve RA, we administrated EVs or AMSCs to IL-1ra knockout mice as RA model mice. We analyzed EVs-included factor by western blot methods and RA improvement effect by ELISA.

resultsIn this study, we showed that the swellings of joints on mice in wild type AMSC and that in AMSC-EVs decreased than that in IL-1ra

conclusionsIn this study, we concluded that MSCs might improve RA by the transferring of factors such as IL-1ra, which are included their MSC derived- EVs.
