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

Thanks to the advantages of easy harvesting and escape from immune rejection, autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are promising candidates for immunosuppressive therapy against inflammation and autoimmune diseases. However, the therapy is still challenging because the immunomodulatory properties of BMSCs are always impaired by immunopathogenesis in patients. Because of its reliable and extensive biological activities, osthole has received increased clinical attention. In this study, we found that BMSCs derived from osteoporosis donors were ineffective in cell therapy for experimental inflammatory colitis and osteoporosis. In vivo and in vitro tests showed that because of the down-regulation of Fas and FasL expression, the ability of osteoporotic BMSCs to induce T-cell apoptosis decreased. Through the application of osthole, we successfully restored the immunosuppressive ability of osteoporotic BMSCs and improved their treatment efficacy in experimental inflammatory colitis and osteoporosis. In addition, we found the immunomodulatory properties of BMSCs were enhanced after osthole pre-treatment. In this study, our data highlight a new approach of pharmacological modification (ie osthole) to improve the immune regulatory performance of BMSCs from a healthy or inflammatory microenvironment. The development of targeted strategies to enhance immunosuppressive therapy using BMSCs may be significantly improved by these findings.
